Wolyniec: Desert Diamond Cup presents ‘great opportunity’ for Red Bulls’ young players

TUCSON, Ariz. (February 19, 2017) – With the majority of the first team back east in preparation for Wednesday’s Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League match, the Red Bulls’ second preseason camp in Tucson features many new faces in the squad.

As of Feb. 18, the roster is compiled of 23 players: five players on MLS contracts, four players on USL contracts, four Red Bulls Academy players, two unsigned MLS SuperDraft picks and eight unsigned trialists.

With two games against MLS competition and multiple training days ahead, Red Bulls II head coach John Wolyniec sees this as a chance for some new faces to make an impression.
