Mauricio Pineda earns another USMNT call up

Chicago Fire defender Mauricio Pineda will have another chance to earn his first cap with the senior U.S. Men’s National Team when the USMNT faces Trinidad & Tobago on Sunday, January 31 at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla. at 6:00 p.m. CT (FS1, UniMás, TUDN).

Pineda was part of a U.S. U-23 MNT camp that trained alongside Gregg Berhalter’s senior team this month in Florida. Following the camp, Berhalter moved several of the U-23 players—including Pineda—to the full USMNT roster.

In December, Pineda was on the gameday roster for the USA’s 6-0 win over El Salvador, but he did not see action in the match. He has previously represented the United States at the U-18 and U-20 levels.
