Philadelphia Union midfielder Cavan Sullivan, a 16 year old player, is reportedly set to receive his first international call up to the United States men's national team later this month. This significant development was communicated by an anonymous source familiar with the roster to The Guardian on Wednesday. ESPN's Jeff Carlisle was the initial reporter of Sullivan's inclusion in the team.
The US national team is scheduled to play four international friendly games in late September and early October. These matches will feature the United States facing Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Canada. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino is anticipated to officially announce his roster on Thursday morning. Sullivan has demonstrated strong performance post World Cup US play, contributing six goals and eight assists.
