(Reuters) - Derby County midfielder Duane Holmes has been named in the United States' 23-man squad for this month's Gold Cup, a day after making his international debut. Holmes, a dual U.S. and British citizen, came on as a substitute during a 1-0 friendly defeat to Jamaica on Wednesday. The 24-year-old plays his club soccer for Frank Lampard's English second-tier Championship team Derby County, who failed to reach the Premier League when they lost to Aston Villa in the playoff final last month. Holmes is one of seven players in the Gold Cup squad who play their club soccer in Europe. Chelsea's Christian Pulisic will make his Gold Cup debut as part of the U.S. team defending the title they won two years ago.
