U.S. men’s national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann today officially named his 22-man roster for this month’s exhibitions against France and Slovenia.
It contains just five MLS players — most notably Landon Donovan — and none from the New England Revolution.
Here’s the full list, as released by U.S. Soccer:
GOALKEEPERS (2): Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Tim Howard (Everton)
DEFENDERS (7): Carlos Bocanegra (Rangers), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Alfredo Morales (Hertha Berlin), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Oguchi Onyewu (Sporting Lisbon)

The France game is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Nov. 11, in Paris. The winner, naturally, will receive 14 Points. (Get it? Come on …)
The Americans visit Slovenia — the team against which they were famously cheated out of a win at the 2010 World Cup — four days later.
