U.S. men’s national head coach Gregg Berhalter will reveal his choices for the January camp Thursday at 10 a.m. before a media conference call in which he will discuss his selections.

Expect mostly Major League Soccer players to be summonded into Berhalter’s first camp, which will take place in Chula Vista, Calif. because there are no FIFA international dates next month.

The camp will conclude with friendlies against Panama in Glendale, Ariz. Jan. 19 and Costa Rica in San Jose, Calif. Feb. 2.
