The United States men’s national team has applied to have left back Edgar Castillo take the place of Timmy Chandler on the Copa America Centenario roster.
The Monterrey back played well in the Yanks’ 4-0 win over Guatemala in World Cup qualifying, but was passed over for Chandler and others in the 23-man roster for this summer’s tournament in the United States.

But Chandler has picked up a quadriceps strain and Jurgen Klinsmann will add Castillo in his stead.
Perhaps this is a sign that fate is on the Yanks’ side.
