U.S. men’s national team head coach Gregg Berhalter will not have the service of Cade Cowell for the upcoming January friendly vs. Slovenia.
Cowell has departed camp ahead of a reported club move to Liga MX side Chivas de Guadalajara. The San Jose Earthquakes forward had been linked with an exit this winter and reportedly could be the latest American to take his talents to Mexico.
Cowell, 20, has made 106 career MLS appearances to date with the Earthquakes, totaling 10 goals and 15 assists. After impressive 2021 and 2022 campaigns, Cowell’s production took a dip in 2023.
A former U.S. Under-20 men’s national team standout, Cowell has scored once in eight senior caps for the USMNT. His absence will provide opportunities for Esmir Bajraktarevic, Bernard Kamungo, Diego Luna, Duncan McGuire, and Brian White this month.
The USMNT opens its 2024 schedule against Slovenia on Jan. 20 in Phoenix, Arizona.
