    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After missing the first portion of the campaign due to injury, Sargent is now back, and is on fire. With his current form, he's the hottest-scoring striker in Europe for the USMNT and is now being touted to play a big role in both the Concacaf Nations League semifinal this March and this summer's Copa America. With the USMNT striker pool so deep, it will be a contentious battle for the starting spot, but with Sargent's form - there is no saying no, at this point in time.
