U-20 World Cup: Four RSL players to lead USMNT in qualifying

The United States U-20 National Team has landed in Costa Rica for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Among the twenty players called in for competition, eleven are currently under contract with MLS teams, with four being from Real Salt Lake alone.

The only other club with more than one player called in was Fulham, who had just two. All four RSL players should see plenty of playing time as the tournament begins Saturday against Panama. The team will round out group play with two additional games on just two days of rest.

Defender Justen Glad, midfielders Danny Acosta and Sebastian Saucedo, and forward Brooks Lennon will represent the Claret and Cobalt.
