Nicholas Gioacchini Readmitted to USMNT Training Camp Roster Ahead of Matches Against Jamaica and Northern Ireland

CHICAGO (March 21, 2021) – U.S. Men’s National Team forward Nicholas Gioacchini has been readmitted to the USMNT to the training camp roster ahead of the matches against Jamaica and Northern Ireland. He had previously been withdrawn due to Covid restrictions.

 

In addition, defender Chris Richards along with forwards Gio Reyna and Josh Sargent will be allowed to travel to face Northern Ireland after previously only being on the roster for the match against Jamaica.

 

These updates are all the result of the updated quarantine protocols in their respective areas.

 

A total of 26 players are gathering in Austria ahead of the match against Jamaica on March 25 at Stadion Wiener Neustadt in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. Kickoff in the rematch of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup Semifinal is set for 1 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2, UniMás and TUDN.

 

Three days later, the U.S. meets Northern Ireland for the first time in more than 70 years. The National Football Stadium at Windsor Park in Belfast hosts the contest, set for 12 p.m. ET with coverage on FOX, UniMás and TUDN.
