Josh Sargent's latest performance for the U.S. national team offered evidence that he is ready for a bigger role with the USMNT. It may have also convinced his club coach that it's time for Sargent to start seeing first-team minutes.
Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt watched Sargent's recent national team performances, including his goal-scoring effort in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Peru, and made it clear Sargent has progressed to a point where he is ready for first-team minutes with his club team.
“This period in which [Sargent] plays exclusively in the U23s is over,” Kohfeldt told Bundesliga.
