Despite not being able to bring the full complement of players, Marko Mitrovic, the coach of the United States Under-23 team has unveiled a quite promising roster aiming to secure a medal at the 2024 Olympics Games in Paris, France. There was much speculation about the likes of Giovanni Reyna, Ricardo Pepi, and Yunus Musah joining the squad, but in the end, Mitrovic had to settle for the players he had been working with.

While the over-23 reinforcements may not appear particularly eye-catching, Walker Zimmerman, Miles Robinson and Djordje Mihailovic complete the Olympic team’s additional members.

Among the big surprises in the roster announced on Monday are the absences of Diego Luna and Brian Gutiérrez, two Mexican-American players who have been excelling with their respective teams. Gutiérrez, 20 years old, has played 21 matches for Chicago Fire in the MLS, during which he has scored four goals and provided three assists in 1,564 minutes of play this season.

Similarly, Luna has established himself with Real Salt Lake in the league, where he has played 20 matches, scoring five and contributing eight assists, making him a key player for the team.
