New York Red Bulls defender Aaron Long has been called up to United States Men's National Team pre-camp ahead of Concacaf Nations League in Bradenton, Florida.

Long joins 19 other players as USMNT prepare for their rematch with Canada on Nov. 15 and Cuba on Nov. 19.

The US team will need wins against both teams to advance to the knockout round of the Nations League.

“We have the opportunity to take advantage of the MLS post-season window to start preparations for the matches against Canada and Cuba,” Head Coach Gregg Berhalter said. “It’s another week to keep progressing as a group as we focus on getting the results we need to advance to the knockout phase of the Nations League.”
