A decision has been made, and both John Brook ands DeAndre Yedlin will be staying with the U.S. Men’s National Team next month.

U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann revealed on Monday that he intends to keep Brooks and Yedlin with his team for the CONCACAF Cup showdown with Mexico on Oct. 10. The two youngsters are both eligible to play for the U.S. Under-23 team that will be trying to qualify the Olympics around the same time, but Klinsmann has decided that it is best for the them .

The same cannot yet be said for Stanford forward Jordan Morris.

“Definitely, John Brooks and DeAndre Yedlin will be with the senior team,” Klinsmann told reporters at his pre-game press conference. “We haven’t made a decision first on Jordan if he joins us towards the Mexico game or he goes with the Olympic team.”

Morris, 20, also recently said that no decision has been made as to which team he would join, but hinted that he would likely go to Olympic qualifying when asked if Klinsmann had talked to him about his role for October.

“I haven’t really talked to him too much about that, and I think that there’s no real game plan right now, but in talking with him really the first focus right now is to qualify for the Olympics,” Morris told SBI last month. “Hopefully I get to take part in those qualifiers and I think that’s the focus for now.”

This season, Morris had started in every Stanford game until being called up by Klinsmann this past weekend to replace the recovering Clint Dempsey. Morris has netted once in those matches, and continues to impress the U.S. coaching staff and scouts.

“Jordan is just getting better every game right now he’s playing with Stanford,” said Klinsmann. “I had people out there, actually, watching his games. The late call in came based on Clint not being 100 percent yet. I kind of had him on alert that if Clint doesn’t feel 100 percent.

“I also intended there to have Jordan with us for a couple of days, just to regroup with us, to be back in the group a month prior to a very crucial moment. He was obviously thrilled, he misses one college game, but they won it anyway, so it’s all good.”

Klinsmann’s U.S. side will play Mexico for a spot in the 2017 Confederations Cup at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, next month. The U-23s, meanwhile, take part in an Olympic qualifying tournament held in several cities from Oct. 1-13.
