Lincoln City will face Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday, with the potential for three United States men’s national team stars to feature. Aidan Morris, Sebastian Berhalter, and Max Arfsten could all be involved after making an immediate impact at Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough’s American trio includes central midfielder Aidan Morris, who joined two years ago, and summer signings Sebastian Berhalter and Max Arfsten. Both Berhalter and Arfsten represented the USA this summer before joining Middlesbrough.
During Middlesbrough’s 1-0 EFL Cup win over Wrexham on Friday, fans at the Riverside Stadium chanted ‘USA’ in support of Berhalter and Arfsten. The duo, who started the match, were delighted by the reception. Berhalter said, “Hearing USA chants is pretty cool. We both just had a moment there and said, ‘That’s crazy’. We’re super thankful and want to keep going.”
Lincoln City will have the challenge of facing a Middlesbrough side boosted by their new signings. The USMNT trio could be involved in the Championship match on Saturday, adding an extra dimension to the game.
All three players could feature against Lincoln City, with Morris potentially returning from injury. The match will be a test for Lincoln City as they look to start their Championship campaign on a high.
