Nottingham Forest defender Eric Lichaj will be 'strongly considered' for the USA's World Cup qualifiers next month.The 28-year-old American was largely excluded from the national team squad under former manager Jurgen Klinsmann.But new boss Bruce Arena says the Reds full-back is firmly in his thoughts for March's vital internationals.Asked if players based abroad who haven't been regulars in the past would find it more difficult to earn a call-up for the upcoming squad, Arena singled out Lichaj.
