Columbus Crew's Rogers replaces Rangers' Edu in USA squad

Robbie Rogers has been drafted into the USA squad to replace injured Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.

The 24-year old Columbus Crew winger joins Jurgen Klinsmann's group of players who will take on arch rivals Mexico at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday.

Rogers is in as Edu makes way with a calf injury he sustained in a friendly against Chelsea on the weekend, giving Klinsmann seven midfielders to choose from for the clash with El Tri which will be his first in charge of the US team.
