DeJuan Jones could be playing for the US men’s national soccer team in a June 15 CONCACAF Nations League semifinal matchup against Mexico at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The Revolution’s fifth-year defender was named to the preliminary roster, with the final roster to be determined Monday. The US will play in either a third-place game or the Nations League final June 18.

Jones made his international debut in January with a 26-minute performance in a 2-1 loss to Serbia, then started and played 90 minutes in a 0-0 draw against Colombia three days later.

The Revolution are off to a 7-2-3 start, with Jones logging a goal and an assist over his last two outings. His three assists this season are tied for third among MLS defenders.

New England takes on the Philadelphia Union Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa.
