SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski was added to the United States Men’s National Team’s roster by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Tuesday in preparation for an upcoming friendly against Ecuador.

The USMNT has a pair of friendlies on tap, beginning with Ecuador on Friday, Oct. 10 in East Hartford, Conn. (4 p.m. PT / ESPN, WatchESPN). US Soccer will announce the roster for their next match at a later date, with Honduras on tap for Tuesday, Oct. 14 at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Fla. (5 p.m. PT / ESPN, WatchESPN, UniMas).

Wondolowski, 31, has nine goals in 23 caps with the U.S. He earned two caps during the 2014 World Cup, entering as a substitute against Portugal at Arena Amazonia in Manaus on June 22 and against Belgium in the Round of 16 at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador on July 1. Prior to the World Cup, Wondolowski had nine goals in his last 10 games dating back to his first national team tally against Guatemala on July 6, 2013. Wondo scored both of the Americans’ goals in a 2-0 win against South Korea at the StubHub Center on Feb. 1 and the second in a 2-2 draw against Mexico at University of Phoenix Stadium on April 2. In the summer of 2013, Wondolowski took home a share of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup Golden Boot after tying USA teammate Landon Donovan and Panama’s Gabriel Torres with five goals during the month-long tournament.

Since returning from the World Cup, Wondolowski has nine goals and four assists in 15 MLS games, tallying a goal or an assist in 10 of those 15 games.
