CHICAGO (Dec. 5, 2020) – Telstar forward Sebastian Soto has been added to the USMNT training camp roster. His addition takes the total number of players in camp to 24.

The USMNT will host El Salvador on Dec. 9 at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale. Kickoff for the USMNT’s first match at the home of Inter Miami CF is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on an ESPN Network, UniMás and TUDN.

Fans will be able to follow via Twitter @USMNT, Instagram @USMNT, Facebook, and the official U.S. Soccer App.

Soto, 20, earned his first call-up to the USMNT last month and made a memorable debut in the against Panama on Nov. 16 in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. Entering the match in the 77^th minute, the San Diego native headed home his first two international goals to push the USMNT to a 6-2 win. With the feat, he became just the fifth player to register a brace in a USMNT debut, and second to do so off the bench.

 

Soto led the USA with four goals at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland and signed for English Premier League side Norwich City last July. He joined Dutch Eerste Divisie side Telstar on loan in August, where his six goals and nine matches currently have him tied for the team’s scoring lead.

The striker was cleared by his club to join the National Team since he is currently serving a suspension following a red card received in their last league match.

Twenty-two players are currently eligible to participate in the match against El Salvador. Because Efrain Alvarez (Mexico) and Andrés Perea (Colombia) have represented different countries in official youth competitions, both players would need to file a one-time change of association to represent the United States.
