With the Seattle Sounders missing many key members for their mid-week match against Columbus Crew SC, there were hopes that Justin Meram could also be called in for Iraq’s national team for a trio of games coming up. The first of which is a friendly in Basra against Jordan on Thursday June 1.
Those hopes have been dashed.
