Diary
Thursday, 15 May
2008 - Bob Bradley has named a 33-man player pool that will be used to
select squads for the upcoming trio of friendlies against England, Spain and
Argentina. The squad for the England match, which will include approximately
22 players, will be announced early next week.
Tuesday, 20 May
2008 - Landon Donovan is poised to make his 100th appearance.
The LA Galaxy striker has been named in a
22-man squad, one of just three domestic-based players to make the trip for
the game on May 28. Midfielder Ricardo Clark of Houston Dynamo and
goalkeeper Brad Guzan of Chivas USA are the other players from Major League
Soccer in the squad. Eight players from English clubs are in Bob
Bradley's squad while Benfica's Freddy Adu is also included.
Friday, 23 May
2008 - Toronto FC midfielder Maurice Edu has been summoned for duty in
England and will join the camp following his side's match away to D.C. United
this weekend. Edu captained the U.S. Under-23's in their successful bid
to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games. The University of Maryland
product has appeared in four of the matches during the United States current five-game
unbeaten run, including consecutive wins against Switzerland, South Africa and
Sweden.
Saturday, 24 May
2008 - Benny Feilhaber has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his
right knee that will require surgery to repair. Feilhaber sustained the
injury on Wednesday while playing with the Under-23's against Turkey in the
Toulon International Tournament. Feilhaber travelled to Los Angeles on
Saturday to be evaluated by Dr. Bert Bandelbaum, and following surgery is
expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
Sunday, 25 May
2008 - Bob Bradley has summoned Columbus Crew midfielder Frankie Hejduk
to help bolster the squad in advance of Wednesday's match. Hejduk will
arrive in London along with the remaining squad tomorrow. The two-time
World Cup veteran has 75 caps to his credit, and will be making his first
appearance of 2008 in a national team camp. Hejduk will be a welcomed
addition as West Ham defender Jonathan Spector has been experiencing hip joint
irritation, and his availability for Wednesday remains in question.
