CHICAGO (Jan. 8, 2017) – With a focus on the future, acting U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Dave Sarachan has called 30 players for the USA’s annual January Camp. Players will report Jan. 10 to the National Training Center in Carson, California.

Some of the USA’s most promising young prospects are expected to be on display in the friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Jan. 28 at the StubHub Center in Carson [TICKETS]. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on FS1 and UniMas. Fans can also follow U.S. Soccer’s official Facebook, Twitter (@ussoccer_mnt) and Instagram (@ussoccer_mnt) accounts.

“We’re excited about our 2018 January Camp roster. It’s all about the future and opportunity,” said Sarachan. “We clearly feel that we want to have a look at these players that have the chance to be a part of the National Team for a number of years to come. It’s a long journey forward, but this is the first step starting in 2018 for the program and for these players to now get experience at this level.”

U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION (Club; Caps/Goals):
GOALKEEPERS (4): Alex Bono (Toronto FC/CAN; 0/0), Bill Hamid (Midtjylland/DEN; 4/0), Cody Cropper (New England Revolution; 0/0), Zack Steffen (Columbus Crew SC; 0/0)

United; 0/0), Marky Delgado (Toronto FC/CAN; 0/0), Marlon Hairston (Colorado Rapids; 0/0), Ian Harkes (D.C.

MOVING UP THE DEVELOPMENT LADDER
Most encouragingly on this roster, the group is heavily populated with players moving through the development pipeline, starting with Youth National Team experience. Twelve players have been included on the final U.S. roster at a FIFA Youth World Cup, including recent U-20 MNT graduates Danny Acosta, Tyler Adams, Justen Glad and Brooks Lennon, who were part of the team that reached the quarterfinal of the 2017 U-20 World Cup. In addition, 19 players have U.S. Soccer Development Academy ties.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This time of year, one normally sees a notable amount of young and uncapped players and this time around it’s even more pronounced. A total of 50 percent of the roster is hoping to make their international debut at the end of the month, while 10 are getting their first taste of a senior National Team camp. Youth is well served, as 21 players on the 30-man squad are 24-years-old or younger.

THREE FOR THREE
With 28 of 30 players coming from MLS, a total of 17 teams from the domestic league are represented. Three clubs contribute a trio of players to the roster, starting with 2017 MLS Cup champion Toronto FC with goalkeeper Alex Bono, defender Justin Morrow and YNT product Marky Delgado, making his senior team camp debut. Real Salt Lake sends U-20 World Cup veterans Acosta, Glad and Lennon, while D.C. United is represented by debutantes Russell Canouse and Ian Harkes alongside midfielder Paul Arriola, who stands in rarified company as one of only 10 players in U.S. history to score goals in each of his first two games for the MNT.
