U.S. Olympic men’s soccer playoff roster includes one World Cup player
CHICAGO (AP) — Forward Jordan Morris was picked for the U.S. under-23 roster for an Olympic qualifying playoff at Colombia on March 25 and will miss the Americans’ World Cup qualifier at Guatemala that night.
The roster announced Saturday did not include defenders John Brooks and DeAndre Yedlin, who presumably will be included in the World Cup qualifying roster announced Sunday.
Under-23 coach Andi Herzog‘s 23-man roster for the game in Barranquilla also included midfielder Julian Green, who scored against Belgium at last year’s World Cup, and defender Matt Miazga, who made his national team debut in November.
