Two inaugural members of the Atlanta United squad and familiar names to Atlanta United fans have gotten the call from interim coach Anthony Hudson to join senior USMNT camp for the first time for two upcoming matches in late January.
Brandon Vazquez and Julian Gressel both got the jumpstart to their professional careers with the Five Stripes. Vasquez joined Atlanta in December 2016 at just 18 years old, a product of youth national teams with only one previous professional appearance with Club Tijuana. Vazquez logged 39 total appearances for Atlanta, scoring nine goals while assisting four, including a goal on his debut against Real Salt Lake.
