Atlanta United centerback Miles Robinson was named on Monday to the U.S. team for the upcoming Gold Cup matches.

The U.S. is scheduled to play Jamaica on June 24 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Game 2 will be scheduled at a later date -- based on results from other Game 1 matches -- and Game 3 will be against Nicaragua on July 2 in Charlotte.

Robinson is also on the U.S. roster for its game against Mexico in the Nations League. That game is scheduled for Thursday in Las Vegas. If the U.S. wins, it is scheduled to play either Panama or Canada on June 18.

The Gold Cup championship is scheduled for July 16. If the U.S. advances and plays for the title, Robinson will miss as many as six Atlanta United matches.
