The US Men's National Team, opening their 2011 schedule January 22 versus Chile at The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, will be without Chivas USA's Justin Braun or FC Dallas' Ugo Ihemelu. the team announced Wednesday.
Braun cut an Achilles tendon during practice Tuesday, requiring four stitches. He will be out of action for a week, effectively missing the upcoming game.
Ihemelu has been dealing with hip and groin injuries and USMNT doctors felt it was best for him to return to his Major League Soccer team to rest.
Head coach Bob Bradley will go with a 23-man roster for the game, choosing not to replace either player.
