For three of the last four national team camps, a player yet to make his first professional appearance was named to the roster. Chituru Odunze, a towering 6’8” goalkeeper at Leicester City, is an intriguing prospect that seemingly receives call-ups whenever Gregg Berhalter convenes his squad in Europe. While not carried over to the CONCACAF Nations League, continued inclusion of the young talent is an admirable idea, particularly at a position in which development and playing time can come at a much later stage of the career.
Odunze was born in North Carolina before moving to England at a young age.
