The release of the first New York Red Bulls training camp roster of 2017 caused an eyebrow or two to raise as it included only one under-contract, specialist center back. Gideon Baah is not yet fit enough to join the team for preseason, so Aurelien Collin was the only rostered CB in the squad when the squad in Tucson was announced.
Fortunately, it only took the Red Bulls a few hours to address the situation. RBNY has followed its preseason roster announcement with the news center back Damien Perrinelle has been re-signed and is expected to join the team in Arizona.
