Philadelphia Union Academy midfielder Michael Pellegrino will get a chance to help the U.S. try and capture back-to-back trophies in the Tournament Delle Nazioni in Italy later this month.
The 15-year-old from Wenonah, N.J. who recently made his debut with the Union U16 team in a scoreless draw against PA Classics in Manheim on April 3 is one of 20 players named to the U.S. roster by head coach Shaun Tsakiris, according to a report in Top Drawer Soccer.
Union Academy defender Rayshaun McGann was on the team that captured the tournament in Italy last season.
