WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wiley i<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/caleb-wiley-usmnt-chelsea-next-alphonso-davies/blte155556bcc7c4f19" target="_blank">s hoping to break into the national team picture after showing flashes of promise at the club level</a>. The former Atlanta United man made a $10 million move to Chelsea in August 2024, but is yet to see his European career take off. Friday's fixture is just his 13th appearance in league football in eight months.</p><p>Also in the fold is Burnley's Luca Koleosho, who has made a handful of youth national appearances for the U.S., but also has eligibility for both Canada and Italy. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Wiley will hope to break into the USMNT side, although he figures to be behind Antonee Robinson in the pecking order.
