Olympic men’s soccer coach Marko Mitrovic has called 25 men into his final United States training camp before the Olympics in Paris.
The camp includes an overage player in Walker Zimmerman and 19 players with full USMNT caps. The Yanks will face Japan in Kansas City on July 11 in the final match before the final Olympic roster is announced by U.S. Soccer.

There are interesting uncapped names amongst the familiar, however, as Norwich City back Jonathan Tomkinson, Hajduk Split teenager Rokas Pukstas, Koln striker Damion Downs, and Eintracht Braunschweig midfielder Johan Gomez.
Zimmerman, 31, has 42 caps for the USMNT and his involvement almost certainly means inclusion in the final roster given his status as a leader for in-season Nashville SC.
Each Olympic team can have three players above the age of 23.
