Kellyn Acosta, Lleget and Long are the 3 MLS players included.
Reynolds gets 1st call up for senior team
Dike gets another shot to get 1st cap
Dike got a cap in January that enabled his transfer to UK

Notable Ommission
McKennie - injury related

Good to see these inclusions!

Sucks for McKennie, hopefully he will be fit for summer.

Was a bit surprised to see Ream and not McKenzie in the roster. Would've been interested to see Green in camp instead of Acosta/Lletget; maybe that's due to Green's recent bout with covid.

Was also surprised not to see Arriola leaving only 3 wingers in the roster, if you include Reyna, and both Weah and Reyna are leaving after the Jamaica game. [edit - Arriola is injured]

So the average age of our roster is broken down as follows which most everyone thinks will be our WCQ roster with maybe a few exceptions:

March 2021 Roster:

GK: 22.67 years old
DEF: 24.1
MID: 22.14
ATT: 20.33

OVR: 22.54

Compare that to the WCQ Roster in March 2017:

GK: 34.67
DEF: 29.6
MID: 29.6
ATT: 28.75

OVR: 30.13

And the vast majority of the 2017 roster were MLS guys. While it's the exact opposite this go around.
