The meteoric rise of America's top youth player continues. Christian Pulisic, the 17-year-old phenom from Hershey, Pennsylvania, has earned his first ever call-up to the United States Men's National Team today. U.S. Soccer announced that he and Graham Zusi have been added to the roster for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Guatemala in Columbus, Ohio.
They will be replacing Fabian Johnson and Matt Besler who were both sent home due to injury. Johnson, who was injured before he was even called up, was unable to recover in time to play any part in this set of qualifiers.
