Los Angeles Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez will return to the U.S.
national team after a two-year absence, while Landon Donovan was
left off the Americans' training camp roster.
Gonzalez was among 25 mostly U.S.-based players selected Sunday
by coach Jurgen Klinsmann for a camp before a Jan. 29 exhibition
against Canada at Houston. The Americans then will call in their
regulars for the opening game of the final round of World Cup
qualifying, Feb. 6 at Honduras.
The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, regarded as a top defender of the future,
made his national team debut in August 2010 and played against Chile
the following January. He tore his left anterior cruciate ligament
last January on his first day training with Nuremberg and returned
to the field for the Galaxy on July 4.
Donovan was skipped over while he decides whether he wants to
keep playing, and Houston midfielder Ricardo Clark also was omitted.
