On Friday the USSF announced an MLS-heavy roster for the non-FIFA calendar-ed December 18 friendly scheduled against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Kansas City. Included in the group of 26 players called up by US head coach Gregg Berhalter was two New York Red Bulls — defender Aaron Long and, as of now, Germany-bound attacking midfielder Caden Clark. This will be Clark’s first call-up, while for Long it marks his first attempt at game action since a Achilles injury suffered in a league match against Philadelphia in May.
After not being selected for US youth teams prior to his MLS emergence, Clark has gained attention from the national team program in recent months.
