Knee injuries to Houston defender Ricardo Clark and Chicago striker Chris Rolfe forced changes to the US squad for upcoming friendlies with Ecuador and Guatemala, US Soccer announced on Tuesday.
Clark suffered a right knee ligament sprain in a 2-0 victory over Mexico's Pachuca in the North American Champions Cup last week and will be sidelined up to a month while Rolfe has a sprained knee.
US interim coach Bob Bradley named a pair of Houston players, defender Wade Barrett and midfielder Brian Mullan, to replace them for matches on Sunday against Ecuador in nearby Tampa and March 28 against Guatemala in Dallas.
There will be 11 members of the 2006 US World Cup squad in the lineup for the matches, including Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and Carlos Bocanegra of Fulham and defender Oguchi Onyewu of Newcastle.
Kasey Keller of Borussia Monchengladbach and Everton's Tim Howard are the top goalkeepers.
