Sporting Kansas City defender/midfielder Graham Zusi was named to the U.S. Men’s National Team on Friday in advance of two pivotal World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and Panama.
Zusi joins the 24-player MNT roster as a replacement for Fabian Johnson, who suffered an injury Thursday while playing for his German club Borussia Monchengladbach.
Following Saturday’s match between Sporting KC and the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park, Zusi will link up with the MNT in San Jose ahead of USA-Honduras next Friday, March 24. The contest at Avaya Stadium will kick off at 9:30 p.
