(Reuters) - United States coach Juergen Klinsmann has decided not to trim his squad from 26 to 23 players for a training camp in Brazil later this month after players excelled in early preparations for the World Cup.

Klinsmann had initially planned to take a reduced squad from their preliminary six-day training camp in Carson, California to Sao Paulo for what U.S. Football is calling a "dry run" for the June 12-July 13 World Cup.
