Russell Canouse entered 2019 after a 2018 that saw him become a linchpin for D.C. United in the middle down the stretch of the team’s late run to the playoffs. He was named to the United States Men’s National Team roster for the 2019 January Camp, though he didn’t see the field in matches against Panama and Costa Rica. Still, as expectations for the team were high for the 2019 MLS season, Russell Canouse was going to be a big part of that. Paired with Junior Moreno and, at times, Chris Durkin, the defensive midfield was secure, and Canouse was one of the important pieces of the puzzle.
