Bradley Announces USA Squad

USA Head Coach Bob Bradley has announced his provisional 30 man squad for the World Cup.

Charlie Davies has not recovered from injuries sustained in a car crash and was omitted, but ion form LA Galaxy striker Edson Buddle was included. Two players whose fitness had been the cause of some concern, Bolton’s Stuart Holden and Milan’s Oguchi Onyewu have made the cut however.

Alejandro Bedoya who plays for Örebro in Sweden has been included. He has only appeared twice before, against Honduras in January and the Netherlands in March.

Fredy Adu wasn’t selected but his Aris Thessaloniki colleague Eddie Johnson was.
