Jordan Allen, Justen Glad make MLS Homegrown Team

Two of Real Salt Lake's young standout stars, Jordan Allen and Justen Glad, have been named to the roster for the MLS Homegrown Game against Club America's under-20 team.

Their coach? None other than Landon Donovan, whose coaching experience is — shall we say — currently non-existent. But Donovan, who has seemed to cut a little loose since retiring from the playing side, has seemed to name a reasonably solid roster for the match.

Allen has been particularly impress in 2015 for Real Salt Lake after sitting out nearly all of 2014 with a microfracture repair surgery. This year has been a big boost for him as a player, playing 682 minutes across 15 matches and notching a goal and two assists. He also appeared at the 2015 U-20 World Cup with the U.S., where he earned some playing time and was generally impressive.

Glad, 18, hasn't featured quite as heavily, but with RSL's defensive woes — whether because of injury, suspension, or international duty absence — he's started and played nearly every minute in four matches. And on Saturday, he came dangerously close to earning his first professional goal, but his headed shot hit the crossbar.
