Five MLS Homegrown players are among 20 players called in by U.S. Under-18 head coach Javier Perez for a 10-day camp in Marbella, Spain, where they will play Germany's U-18s twice.

Tommy Redding (Orlando City), Collin Fernandez (Chicago Fire), Ben Swanson (Columbus Crew), Victor Mansaray (Seattle Sounders), and Sebastian "Bofo" Saucedo (Real Salt Lake) will make the trip, the first since for the U-18s since they won the Vaclav Jezek Tournament in the Czech Republic in August.

Antonee Robinson, who is currently part of Everton's youth system, is making his first appearance with the U-18s.

Amir Bashti, Michael Boakye, James Murphy and Eryk Williamson all earned callups following their performances at a camp Perez held at the end of October for players not currently in his core group.
