The United States Men’s National Team takes on Mexico at Estadio Azteca in three weeks in a crucial World Cup Qualifier. At the moment, the USA’s top two goalkeepers are both dealing with injuries. New England’s Matt Turner is battling a foot injury, and Manchester City’s Zack Steffen is suffering from back tightness. If those injuries linger on, Sean Johnson or Ethan Horvath may end up starting, but what if they can’t?
At that point, we could see 17-year-old Chicago Fire goalkeeper get his first national team start at the Azteca in an absolutely massive match in front of the most hostile of crowds.
