U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has added veteran defender Brad Evans to the roster for the January training camp in Carson, Calif. Evans will be available for training Monday.
The camp, which runs from Jan. 11 - Feb. 6 and contains a mix of Senior Team members as well as a host of players age-eligible for the U-23 MNT, will culminate with friendlies against Iceland on Jan. 31 and Canada on Feb. 5. Both matches will be played at StubHub Center in Carson.
Evans made his debut with the MNT on July 4, 2009 against Grenada and has earned 25 career caps. He played a large role in helping the U.S. qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, appearing in 10 matches in 2013 and starting five in the final round of qualifying for Brazil. He scored his first international goal, a stoppage-time game-winner, during the USA’s 2-1 win in qualifying against Jamaica on June 7, 2013 in Kingston, Jamaica.
The Seattle Sounders captain appeared in eight matches for the U.S. in 2015, including four in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
