U.S. goes with young roster for friendlies

Midfielder Michael Bradley and goalkeeper Brad Guzan will be back with the U.S. national team for the first time since the loss at Trinidad and Tobago last October that ended the Americans’ streak of seven straight World Cup appearances.

Star 20-year-old midfielder Christian Pulisic also is on the 24-man roster announced Monday for games against Colombia on Oct. 11 at Tampa, Fla., and versus Peru five days later at East Hartford, Conn.

Bradley, the 31-year-old U.S. captain, has 17 goals in 140 international appearances and figures to be among only a few veterans who will be integrated with a young core group that has won three, lost two and tied three under interim coach Dave Sarachan.
