Sacha Kljestan National Team

Ahead of their upcoming friendly against New Zealand, Jurgen Klinsmann made several roster changes to the United States Men's National Team.


New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan was not one of them.


The national team returned nine players to their club teams (John Brooks, Geoff Cameron, Timmy Chandler, Ethan Horvath, Fabian Johnson, Jordan Morris, Christian Pulisic, Chris Wondolowski and Bobby Wood). Additionally, they added seven before Tuesday's game (Kellyn Acosta, Juan Agudelo, Matt Besler, Terrence Boyd, Bill Hamid, Michael Orozco and Tim Parker).


Kljestan started against Cuba in the United States' 2-0 win on Friday, playing 69 minutes before being subbed out.
