The pair were both listed on the USA’s 28-man squad for four friendly matches in the upcoming international break, where Palace's summer signing could make his senior international debut.
It is the first time Gozo has been included in the senior squad, although he has represented his country at youth level, making 16 appearances for the under-20 side.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side face Peru, Chile, and fellow World Cup co-hosts Mexico and Canada across the September/October window.
Richards will be looking to add to his 40 caps, having features in the majority of the USMNT’s games at the World Cup.
In addition, midfielder Quinten Timber has been called up for the Netherlands for their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures.
The Dutch face Germany, Greece and Serbia twice in the window. Timber was part of the Netherlands squad at the World Cup last summer and will be looking to add to his 13 senior international caps to date.
