Jesse Gonzalezwill be stepping up for Team USA…

The 23-year-old Mexican-American soccer player, a goalkeeper for FC Dallas in Major League Soccer, is replacing Zack Steffen on the U.S. roster for friendlies against Ecuador and Chile, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced. 

Steffen, who started the first two matches under new U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter, played in the Crew’s 1-0 win over Dallas on Saturday night. 

Gonzalez has trained with the U.S. team in a pair of camps but has not yet made his debut. He made a one-time change of affiliation in 2017 and was on the U.S. roster for the knockout phase of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He also was on the roster for the November 2017 exhibition at Portugal, the first game after interim coach Dave Saracan replaced Bruce Arenafollowing the Americans’ failure to qualify for the World Cup.

The other goalkeepers on the U.S. roster are Sean Johnson of New York City and Ethan Horvathof Club Brugge. Berhalter again bypassed Atlanta’s Brad Guzan, the Americans’ No. 2 goalkeeper at the 2014 World Cup.

The U.S. play Ecuador on Thursday in Orlando, Florida, and Chile five days later in Houston.
