***With the Dos a Cero showdown in Columbus 10 days away, U.S. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad will begin to gather in central Ohio this weekend. The identity of the players will probably go public Sunday, but Monday is also possible.
Because the U.S. squad is playing two World Cup qualifiers — Mexico on Nov. 11 at Mapfre Stadium and Costa Rica on Nov. 15 in San Jose, C.R. — Klinsmann is expected to invite more than the standard 23 players. Although the list is probably set, he’ll continue monitoring players for injury setbacks with their clubs before the FIFA break.
