The USMNT's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/gianluca-busio-walker-zimmerman-usmnt-olympic-squad-june-camp-roster-paris-games/bltcf20bc3ff4bb9f14" target="_blank">Olympic roster is already looking thin</a>, with reigning Dutch league champions PSV electing to keep Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman around for preseason, manager Peter Bosz announced on Tuesday. The duo have been sent on holiday prior to the club's preseason training camp - which starts on July.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The loss would seem to be a big blow for Miytrovic as he pieces together his U23 Olympic roster. Neither player was named to the provisional roster - announced May 29 - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-gregg-berhalter-winners-losers/blted3d9a0194e80230" target="_blank">due to their participation in Copa America</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The PSV manager <a href="https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/6319177/psv-laat-saibari-tillman-en-pepi-niet-naar-olympische-spelen-gaan.html?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F" target="_blank">outlined his call</a> to block the duo from playing in the tournament: "We do not have to give permission for this and I will not do that. The combination with the Olympic Games is too much."

WHAT PETER BOSZ SAID

The duo will enjoy a break before returning to PSV duty in two weeks. The USMNT, meanwhile, will not have to address holes up front and in midfield ahead of the tournament - which kicks off in late July.

WHAT NEXT FOR THE PEPI AND TILLMAN?
