The first U.S. men’s national team camp of the new year will feature a very young team, with Gregg Berhalter casting an eye towards the Olympics.
A total of 13 Olympic age-eligible players have been included in the 25-player squad for the USMNT’s January training camp ahead of their friendly against Slovenia on January 20th at Toyota Field in San Antonio.
Duncan McGuire, Diego Luna and John Tolkin are three of the players aged 23 and younger who are taking part in the camp, which begins next week in Orlando.
A total of 17 uncapped players have been included, with newly-signed FC Cincinnati defender Miles Robinson serving as the team’s most experienced player with 27 caps.
The reigning MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew had three players called up, including Aidan Morris and Patrick Schulte. Vancouver Whitecaps forward Brian White was also called in after finishing as the highest-scoring American in MLS last season.
