After just missing the cut for the initial roster, Fafa Picault has been added to the United States Men’s National Team call-up for friendlies against Colombia and Peru.
The 27-year-old Philadelphia Union winger’s recent run of form put him back on the national team radar and after Tyler Adams and Christian Pulisic both had to withdraw because of injury he received the invite to join head coach Dave Sarachan’s 23-man roster.
The call-up for Picault is his first since joining the Union last season. He was last part of the national team in 2016 when he earned his only cap for the senior team as a substitute in the Yanks’ 3-1 win over Puerto Rico.
