But he’ll have even one more player to consider now that, according to a report in Sports Illustrated, Philadelphia Union midfielder Derrick Jones has been cleared to suit up for the United States.

The 20-year-old homegrown player is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Ghana, where he was born and lived until emigrating to the states when he was 14.
