USMNT roster changes for New Zealand friendly

usmnt squad cuba friendly soccer october 2016

USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann announced substantial changes to his roster for Tuesday’s international friendly against New Zealand. Klinsmann released several of his Europe-based players back to their clubs along with Jordan Morris and Chris Wondolowski. In their place, he called in seven players for the game at RFK Stadium (8pm ET – ESPN).

“These friendly games are about getting our group ready for Mexico and Costa Rica,” Klinsmann said. “For the guys coming in, it’s a chance to prove their point. We sent some of our European-based guys back to make sure they stay in a rhythm for the next few weeks, and with Jordan Morris and Chris Wondolowski they have a chance to extend their seasons. When it comes to roster spots for November, the fight is on.”
