Matt Turner returned to New England, hoping to get his name back in the United States Men’s National Team starting goalkeeper conversation. His call-up for a pair of October friendlies is proof that he is on the right track.

But since coming to New England, Turner has been the clear starter. He has eight matches under his belt and has recorded two clean sheets and made 29 saves.
