United States men’s national team Head Coach Dave Sarachan has called in Seattle Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan for two friendlies against powerhouses Brazil and Mexico during the upcoming international break. Roldan joins 23 other players on the U.S. roster.
The U.S. will take on five-time World Cup-winners Brazil on Sept. 7 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., before hosting rival Mexico on Sept. 11 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.
Roldan has earned three caps, with his first coming last summer in a CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage match against Martinique. He has been having another strong season in Seattle, starting all 26 matches while scoring three goals and adding five assists.
Sarachan has also called in Seattle native and former Sounder DeAndre Yedlin. The Newcastle defender leads this edition of the roster with 52 caps and scored his first English Premier League goal last season.
