Post by: Folami David on Sep 08, 2013, 09:42 PM
United States coach Juergen Klinsmann was forced to bring in four replacements to his squad for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio.
.
Striker Jozy Altidore and defenders Matt Besler and Geoff Cameron all picked up yellow cards in Friday's 3-1 defeat in Costa Rica to be banned for the clash with 'El Tri'.
.
Midfielder Michael Bradley has also been ruled out after suffering a left ankle sprain during warmups prior to the start of the match.
.
Tijuana midfielder Joe Corona, Houston Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis, San Jose Earthquakes defender Clarence Goodson and Tigres midfielder Jose Torres have all been given the call by Klinsmann.
.
US Soccer also announced that Hertha Berlin central defender John Brooks has been released back to his club.
.
The United States are a point behind Costa Rica in qualifying while Mexico are in fourth place, outside the automatic qualification slots on eight points in the final stage six-team group.
.
On Saturday, Mexico sacked coach Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre after Friday's loss to Honduras which dented their hopes of qualifying.
.
Luis Fernando Tena, who coached the gold medal- winning Mexico team at the London Olympics, has been handed the job and will take charge on Tuesday.
