MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Midfielder Cristian Roldan was added Wednesday to the U.S. roster for friendlies against South Korea on Saturday at Harrison, New Jersey, and Japan three days later at Columbus, Ohio.

The 30-year-old has no goals in 37 international appearances and was last with the U.S. at the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He was on the 2022 World Cup roster but did not appear in any matches.

A member of Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders, he helped the team win the Leagues Cup last weekend. Roldan is to join the U.S. group on Thursday.
