D.C. United released their initial preseason roster this morning and the names in D.C. are straightforward at the moment. The remaining roster players from 2017 are present along with offseason additions Frederic Brillant, Darren Mattocks, Junior Moreno, David Ousted and Ulises Segura. Draft picks Raphael Andrade Santos and Afonso Pinheiro are along as well.
There are two trialists at the moment, both of whom are familiar to D.C. (and MLS) fans. Chris Odoi-Atsem returns after having his option declined, and as Steven Goff reported Monday, Sheanon Williams is the other.
