San Jose Earthquakes general manager Jesse Fioranelli revealed today that both Anibal Godoy and Florian Jungwirth have received their U.S. Green Cards granting them permanent resident status in the United States. With such status, both players will no longer take up International Player spots on the team’s 2018 roster.
“I am glad to announce that both Florian and Anibal have their green cards,” said Fioranelli via Facebook Live. “We knew this a couple weeks ago.”
According to last year’s MLS roster rules and regulations, each club can have a maximum of eight players on its roster that count as internationals.
