U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Tuesday added LA Galaxy forward Alan Gordon to the preliminary squad against Mexico to replace the injured Jordan Morris.
The 22-year-old forward suffered a hamstring strain during the Seattle Sounders' 2-1 loss to Dallas and Sounders interim coach Brian Schmetzer had suggested that he would not be able to perform at his best for the U.S. this week.
Gordon has made two appearances for the United States. He delivered the assist on the 90th minute game-winner by Eddie Johnson in the team's 2-1 World Cup Qualifying victory at Antigua-Barbuda in October 2012.
