Sunil Chhetri closing in for MLS debut
NEW DELHI, July 15: Indian striker Sunil Chhetri’s Major League Soccer debut may not be too far away as his club Kansas City Wizards on Thursday said he will be soon included in the 18-man match-day squad. Chhetri signed for KC Wizards in late March and has made his debut for the Kansas-based side in the Lamar Hunt US Open match against Colorado Rapids in April. He is yet to make his debut in MLS, which is halfway through this season. “Hopefully he will be able to make the 18-man active roster sometime in the coming weeks,” KC Wizards Public Relations Officer Dave Borchardt said. Chhetri has also a chance to play against the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Dimitar Berbatov and Edwin Van der Sar in KC Wizards friendly match against Manchester United on July 25. “The teams (KC Wizards and Manchester United) are still finalising how many players will be available for the game day roster as well as how many substitutions will be allowed,” he said.
