U.S. defender Jeff Agoos, who was originally left off the national team roster for its Feb. 6 friendly against Germany due to lower back pains, has been cleared to play by the national team medical staff. Agoos joined the team in Jacksonville, Fla., on Feb. 2 for its early training session. The 30-year-old Agoos is the most experienced defender (88 caps) in the current U.S. squad.
