Roster hits due to the upcoming Gold Cup are set to take its toll on MLS rosters, with an expected large number of players from the league being called up to the United States national team as well as the selections from Jamaica, Canada and a number of other nations.

In fact, MLS is set to send the most players to the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, and the United States national team is poised to lead the way in this regard. And with 23-man rosters set to be announced on Wednesday (provisional rosters came out earlier this month), teams will have to start preparing for losing impact players for the next several weeks.
