FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) – Columbus’ Patrick Schulte replaced Cincinnati’s Roman Celentano on the U.S. national team for friendlies against Belgium and Portugal on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Celentano did not dress for Cincinnati’s 4-3 win over Montreal in Major League Soccer on Sunday, but the U.S. Soccer Federation said in a statement that “Coelentano was absent to avoid potential risk of injury.”<\/p>\n

Schulte has appeared in three games for the national team. Both goaltenders are considered backups to varsity starter Matt Freese and former starter Matt Turner. The roster also includes Chris Brady.<\/p>\n

The United States will play Belgium on Saturday and Portugal on March 31st, both in Atlanta, in their final games before coach Mauricio Pochettino announces his World Cup squad on May 26th.<\/p>\n

Revised roster:<\/p>\n

Goaltenders: Chris Brady (Chicago), Roman Celentano (Cincinnati), Matt Freeze (New York City), Matt Turner (New England Revolution).<\/p>\n

Defenders: Max Alfsten (Columbus), Alex Freeman (Villarreal), Mark McKenzie (Toulouse), Tim Ream (Charlotte), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), Anthony Robinson (Fulham), Miles Robinson (Cincinnati), Joe Scally (Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach), Auston Trusty (Glasgow Celtic).<\/p>\n

Midfielders: Sebastian Berhalter (Vancouver), Jonny Cardoso (Atletico Madrid), Weston McKennie (Juventus), Aidan Morris (Middlesbrough), Gio Reyna (Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach), Cristian Roldan (Seattle), Tanner Tessman (Lyon). Malik Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen).<\/p>\n

Forward: Brenden Aaronson (Leeds). Patrick Agyeman (Derby), Folarin Balogun (Monaco), Ricardo Pepi (PSV Eindhoven), Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Tim Weah (Marseille).<\/p>\n
