USMNT squad for Czech Republic friendly

August 28, 2014 by US Soccer Players

USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann announced his squad for the September 3rd friendly against the Czech Republic in Prague 2:15pm ET – NBCSN). 22 players will take part including ten players from the 2014 World Cup squad and six players with no appearances with the senior USMNT team.

“When you start a new cycle, you want to see as many new players and young players breaking in as possible,” USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “Obviously you always respect your established players and you always want to give them the space to continue their good work, but you also want to use that opportunity going forward to introduce young blood into the program, give them time on the training field, and you also want to give them time in a real game and prove a point. Show us what you have. Show us your talent, be confident and go for your next level. This is what comes up in the next couple games. It’s about young players coming in and hopefully doing well, with the established ones being part of it as well. We try to mix things up, but we are curious about the next generation of players breaking in. It is also very vital towards Russia 2018 that we already communicate now, four years away, that there is a path for you laid out, but you as a player decide at the end of the day whether you make that path or not.”

UPDATE: Geoff Cameron will miss this game with an injury. The USMNT did not name a replacement.
