FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The past month has been a bit of a labyrinth for Arnór Traustason as he has navigated his way from officially signing with the New England Revolution on March 16 to joining his new teammates on the training ground for the first time earlier this week.
Just days after signing Traustason joined up with the Iceland National Team for a trio of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers – all on the road in Germany, Armenia, and Liechtenstein – before returning to Iceland to complete the process of obtaining his U.S. P-1 visa. Upon completion of that paperwork the 27-year-old traveled to Foxborough, where he was required to complete a weeklong quarantine process, training individually to keep himself fit and ready for the day he could finally train with the squad.
