It is not immediately clear why US U-20 Men's National Team head coach selected a final squad for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship that includes no obvious starting left back, but that is what he did. The coach's intentions will become clear once the tournament gets underway.
What is known, however, is that a coach can only pick the players that are available for selection. New York Red Bulls Academy product and rumored RBNY target for a Homegrown contract, Marcello Borges, had been a regular starter for Ramos during the current U-20 cycle.
