re: Young Players Tracker and Americans Abroad Thread

Hopefully he'll break into the national team picture.

I don't think so.

I was invited to a camp with the US u20's in London next week. Would have loved to join. Unfortunately my club won't release me.. ??????

I think it's because his 'club' (Vitesse II) is terrible. They're in the relegation playoff zone for the bottom tier (the semi-pro/reserves) in the Netherlands. They need him to stay up.

U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a 25-player roster for the team’s first international training camp of the year, taking place from April 3-10 in London, England. The camp will not only aid the USA in preparation for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea Republic, but will also allow U-20 MNT head coach and Youth Technical Director Tab Ramos to evaluate many European-based players.

Aren't they in a relegation battle? I can see him being held out if he wasn't 100% so he could take the time off to heal.

Another game, another @HajiWright goal! He finished off the U19s' 3-1 win against Viktoria Köln with this strike. Keep 'em coming! #S04US
