*data correct up to the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup 2026
Arguably the best out-and-out defender in the USA squad, Chris Richards is coming off the back of a brilliant club season at Crystal Palace which saw him appear over 30 times in the English Premier League and win the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League with the Eagles. The current U.S Soccer Player of the Year, Richards is a key pillar of the USA backline, strong in the air and excellent on the ball. If the States are to make a deep run at FIFA World Cup 2026, Richards will be critical to their success.
