U.S. under-18 men's national team roster

[LAKEWOOD RANCH CAMP] Javier Perez called 24 up players for a week-long U.S. under-18 men's national team training camp beginning Saturday in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., to prepare for the upcoming Copa del Atlantico Feb. 4-7 in the Canary Islands. The lone pro in camp is Sporting Kansas City's Erik Palmer-Brown.

Besides Palmer-Brown, four players -- Mukwelle Akale, JT Marcinkowski, Tommy Redding and Ben Swanson -- saw playing time for the U-18s who went unbeaten and took second place at the Limoges Tournament in France in October.

Palmer-Brown started all three matches at the tournament and scored the lone goal in a 1-0 U.S. win over the Czech Republic, while Akale and Marcinkowski earned starts in two games.
