Americans Abroad: Liga MX teen caught up in latest USA vs. Mexico battle?

U.S. youth international Jonathan Gonzalez is a regular starter at the top team in Liga MX and reportedly now has El Tri after his services

While most of the gushing for teenage Americans abroad is reserved for Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic, with a few eyes batted at Schalke's Weston McKennie, there is another 18-year-old midfielder who is becoming a fixture in his team’s lineup.

Only this teenager may not be a lock to be a senior U.S. international if Mexico has any say in the matter.

That teenager is Jonathan Gonzalez, who lines up in the central midfield for the team currently top of Liga MX, Monterrey.
