The FC Dallas left back and former U.S. youth national team player is considering playing for Guatemala, sources have confirmed to Goal USA.

Jurgen Klinsmann is searching far and wide for dual nationals to represent the U.S. men's national team, but there are also dual nationals who are seeking other options as they find themselves overlooked by the U.S. head coach.

Count FC Dallas defender Moises Hernandez in that category. Sources have confirmed to Goal USA Hernandez is considering playing for the Guatemalan national team after recently receiving his Guatemalan passport.

The 23-year-old defender enjoyed a breakout season with FC Dallas in 2014, establishing himself as a starter at left back for the playoff club in the second half of the season. He has retained his starting spot in 2015 and is one of the better young fullbacks in MLS.

The former U.S. Under-20 national team defender was born in Dallas, but he is eligible for Guatemala through his father. Hernandez has taken a unique route to a starting role with FC Dallas, having spent two seasons playing in Central America, first for Guatemalan side CD Comunicaciones in 2012, then with Costa Rican giant Deportivo Saprissa in 2013.

Hernandez returned to FC Dallas in 2014 and established himself as a regular starter, becoming one of the team's homegrown players to make the transition from the team's academy to the first team.

While Hernandez would find it difficult to break into the U.S. team, he could find himself a starting option for Guatemala if he chooses to play for the Central American squad. Guatemala will compete in this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup, and has been placed in Group C with Mexico, Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago.
