Matt Polster to join senior national team for winter camp; two friendlies against Iceland and Canada
Chicago Fire’s 2015 rookie standout Matt Polster will get a chance to make an impression on the biggest stage this January after receiving a call-up to join the senior national team.
Polster will join coach Jurgen Klinsmann and his national team colleagues in Los Angeles from Jan. 11 to Feb. 6. The team will play two friendlies, one against Iceland on Jan. 31 and another against Canada on Feb. 5.
The call-up could be considered surprising but one of the apparent goals of the camp is to get the Under-23 team ready for its massive double leg meeting with Colombia.
