It has taken less than three years for Musah to reach 30 matches for the national team. He made his debut in November 2020 when he started a friendly against Wales. Since then, he has grown into a regular for Gregg Berhalter's team, having played in all four of their World Cup matches last year.

DID YOU KNOW?

The midfielder has overtaken Landon Donovan as the third youngest USA player to reach 30 senior appearances. Incredibly, Donovan was just a day older than Musah is when he initially set the record.

The only players to have reached 30 caps at a younger age were Christian Pulisic, who did so at 20 years and 288 days old and record holder Jozy Altidore, who was 20 years and 277 days old.

Musah will hope to rack up more appearances for the USMNT by impressing Berhalter in the clash against Germany.
