The US national team lost one center back from January camp on Tuesday but they have added another one on Friday.


Michael Orozco has been called into USMNT camp and will be available for the team's match vs. Iceland on Sunday at the StubHub Center (3:45 PM ET; ESPN2/UniMás/UDN).


The Club Tijuana center back has been recovering from an ankle injury suffered during preseason which sidelined him for the first three games of the Liga MX season, and he recently returned to full fitness.



The 29-year-old has appeared 20 times for the United States at the senior team level, including seven games in 2015. He famously scored the game-winning goal in the 1-0 victory against Mexico on Aug. 15, 2012, delivering the USA its first win against Mexico on Mexican soil.


Though he is typically more comfortable at center back, Orozco could see some time at right back for the US.
