Sargent, Weah, Atlanta United Trio Headline USA U-17 World Cup Roster

The USA U-17s will play host India, Ghana and Colombia at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

New Werder Bremen signing Josh Sargent and PSG's Timothy Weah will lead the USA U-17 men's national team to India, where it'll compete for the FIFA U-17 World Cup next month.

Atlanta United and NYCFC both feature multiple players on the roster, including Atlanta forward Andrew Carelton and NYCFC defender James Sands. In all, 12 of the 21 players on the roster come from MLS clubs.

Weah, son of former FIFA World Player of the Year and Liberia great George Weah, signed with PSG earlier in 2017 and will lead the line up front with Sargent, who signed with Werder Bremen on Tuesday. Sargent also played at the U-20 World Cup for the USA earlier this year, making him the first U.S. player since Freddy Adu in 2003 to play in the U-20 and U-17 World Cups in the same year.

The USA will play Colombia, Ghana and host India at the World Cup, which runs Oct. 6-28. Prior to the competition, the U-17s, who are coached by John Hackworth, will train in Dubai, beginning on Sept. 24. The USA's best showing in the U-17 World Cup came in 1999, when Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley and Oguchi Onyewu helped the Americans to a fourth-place finish.
