Ahead of a two-game European swing, Dave Sarachan added 10 players to the U.S. men’s national team roster Tuesday and dropped seven from the squad that defeated Bolivia on Monday.

The incoming group for Saturday’s match at Ireland and the June 9 friendly at France comprises goalkeepers Zack Steffen and William Yarbrough; defenders Shaq Moore, Tim Parker and DeAndre Yedlin; midfielders Tyler Adams, Luca de la Torre, Kenny Saief and Will Trapp; and forward Bobby Wood.

Departing are star midfielder Christian Pulisic; goalkeeper Alex Bono and defender Matt Olosunde, who made their debuts Monday; defender Walker Zimmerman, who scored the first goal in the 3-0 victory in Chester, Pa.
