Klinsmann makes mass changes to USMNT roster ahead of New Zealand friendly

Jurgen Klinsmann has made significant changes to the USMNT’s roster for the upcoming friendly against New Zealand at RFK Stadium on Tuesday night.

Many of the European-based players have departed camp to return to their club teams. Several players are getting a chance for the first time in a while such as Juan Agudelo, Bill Hamid, William Yarbrough, and most notably Terrence Boyd who makes his national team return after several years away injured.

It should be a very interesting lineup come Tuesday night. Here’s the full roster Klinsmann is bringing to D.C.:
