The list of international call-ups is growing at Real Salt Lake.

With captain Kyle Beckerman off with the U.S. men's national team in Europe preparing for a friendly against reigning World Cup champion Germany, and youngster Jordan Allen in New Zealand with the U.S. U-20s in the U-20 World Cup, three more RSL players were summoned by their respective national teams Monday.

Alvaro Saborio, Elias Vasquez and Abdoulie Mansally make it seven RSL players in 2015 called up to represent their countries. RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando has already made five appearances with the USMNT in 2015 and defender Boyd Okwuonu has been called up twice to the U.S. U-23s.

Saborio, RSL's all-time leading scorer, jetted to Europe himself to join Costa Rica as Los Ticos prepare for a massive friendly against 2010 World Cup champion Spain on Thursday in Leon. Saber is also on the 23-man roster for Costa Rica's upcoming friendly against Mexico on June 27 as well as the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament roster, played stateside starting the first week of July.

Saborio has 35 career goals in 98 total appearances for Costa Rica, which leads the current squad. In 14 appearances, Saborio has three goals at RSL this season.

Vasquez joins Guatemala, who he has 27 senior-team caps with, as the national team starts it qualification process for the 2018 FIFA World Cup with a home-and-home series with Bermuda starting Friday in Guatemala City and again Monday in Devonshire, Bermuda.

22-year-old center back in his first year at RSL has 10 starts through the club's first 15 outings.

Manually has the longest trek of anyone ahead of him as the RSL left back joins The Gambia for 2017 African Cup of nation qualifiers and the first match of the Group M stage Friday against South Africa in Durban.

RSL U-18s to face Monarchs • An off week for RSL it may be, but the club's Arizona-based U-18s in Casa Grande, Ariz., will travel north this week to face Real Monarchs in an exhibition match Wednesday afternoon at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. The match is scheduled to start at 4:15 p.m. and admission is free to the public.

The RSL U-18s have been noted as arguably the best youth team in the country in 2015, scoring goals at a historic pace. The group has notched 161 goals in 39 games.

RSL first-teamers such as Allen, Sebastian Saucedo, Lalo Fernandez, Justen Glad, Phanuel Kavita and Fito Ovalle were all academy products before signing first-team contracts. It's likely most of them — excluding Allen — could see time against the U-18s Wednesday.

The Monarchs travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., Friday to face Switchbacks FC Saturday.
