From Andrew Voerman's article on Stuff - link here - https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/nz-teams/95...

Gleeson is a regular starter in goal for the Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer in the US, but after appearing in two games under Hudson in late 2014, he hasn't been sighted on the field since.

He was called up for last October's friendlies in the US, but left camp early with an injury, and with Glen Moss returning to the fold since then, he has fallen down the pecking order.

Hudson said that while Gleeson hadn't turned down another callup for any of the four squads selected since then, his past decisions had counted against him.

"We needed him before that, and he wanted to stay with his club. He's a really good keeper, there's no denying that, but it's the same scenario with Tyler - we need everyone showing they want to come and represent their country, and when they do, they'll be available, I'll consider them.

"But I haven't heard anything from Tyler or from Jake."
