With some key pieces of Minnesota United’s backline set to miss the team’s upcoming clash with D.C. United, the Loons are likely to look to defender Wyatt Omsberg to help fill the void. Despite his inexperience, coaches and teammates alike believe the confident rookie will be up to the task against Wayne Rooney and company.
Omsberg has made just four appearances so far, including a pair of starts, in his first professional season, but is in line for another on Wednesday in D.C. with defenders Francisco Calvo and Michael Boxall both suspended and Eric Miller still battling a knock he suffered in the team’s last outing against Sporting KC.
