Bill Hamid practices for the second straight week as his 2016 debut for D.C. United looms

The 2014 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year talked to Black and Red United as he gets closer to making his 2016 debut

The news in January was not promising. Bill Hamid, D.C. United's first ever homegrown player - not to mention the 2014 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year - had to remove himself from the January US national team camp to have surgery on a torn right meniscus. The timetable was unclear at first, but eventually the worst was confirmed: Hamid was out for 4 to 6 months, meaning that the USMNT hopeful would miss a significant portion of the MLS season, and in all likelihood the Copa America Centenario as well.
