The next step in Stuart Holden's long, tortuous comeback from injury has seen him invited to United States national team camp in Carson, California.
Holden, who has suffered a horrific run of injuries over the past five years, confirmed he is participating in the camp that started on Jan. 11 and is scheduled to continue into the first week of February.
U.S. manager Jurgen Klinsmann invited Holden as a guest, a U.S. Soccer spokesman said. The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder is not on the squad that will play in friendlies against Iceland on Jan. 31 and Canada on Feb.
