Daigo Kobayashi will no longer take up an international slot as the midfielder has obtained a Green Card, according to Revolution staff writer and online host Jeff Lemieux.
Lemieux reported that Kobayashi's status changed "within the past two or three months." This leaves Portugal native Jose Goncalves as sole international on the New England Revolution's roster.
The 32-year-old Kobayashi joined the Revs in 2014 after one year with the Vancouver Whitecaps. In his first season in Foxborough, Kobayashi appeared in every regular season game.
Hampered by injury and age, the Japanese midfielder only featured in 21 games (11 starts) in 2015.
