Luna, McGlynn, Miljevic headline USMNT January roster

Mauricio Pochettino’s first U.S. men’s national team roster of 2025 has been released.

Diego Luna, Jack McGlynn, and Matko Miljevic headlined Pochettino’s 24-player roster for January home friendlies against Venezuela and Costa Rica. Both matches will take place outside of a FIFA international window, leading Pochettino to call in plenty of domestically-based players.

A total of 13 of the 24 players called into camp have earned double-digit USMNT caps to date; Tim Ream (66), Walker Zimmerman (41), Miles Robinson (30), Zack Steffen (29), Jesus Ferreira (23), and Shaq Moore (19).

Seven players have earned their first senior USMNT call-ups; Patrick Agyemang, Max Arfsten, George Campbell, Emeka Eneli, Brian Gutiérrez, Indiana Vassilev and the aforementioned Miljevic.

Luna, Ben Cremaschi, and Brian Gutierrez are former U.S. youth national team players that are also dual-nationals.

“We are extremely excited to work with a new group of players and continue to implement our ideas,” Pochettino said. “As I have said, MLS is very important to the National Team project, and these players have earned this opportunity.”

The USMNT will face Venezuela in Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 18 before closing out their two-match window in Orlando against Costa Rica four days later.

January’s camp will provide a strong opportunity for these 24 players ahead of a busy 2025 year for the USMNT. The USMNT have a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal showdown with Panama in March before also taking part in the Gold Cup this summer.
