The Schalke midfielder is gaining buzz after breaking out as a Bundesliga starter, but he said it would have been "risky" for Bruce Arena to add him
After making three straight starts for Bundesliga side Schalke, American midfielder Weston McKennie has quickly emerged as a rising young U.S. prospect.
The growing excitement from American fans has led to McKennie being a player many were hoping to see called into the U.S. national team training camp for October's World Cup qualifiers, despite the fact he has never been in a USMNT camp before. One person who had no problem with coach Bruce Arena choosing to leave out the 19-year-old is McKennie himself.
