What happened: Forward Damion Downs will replace injured Ricardo Pepi on the United States men's national team roster for the upcoming four-friendly window. The 22-year-old is currently on loan to St. Louis City from Southampton.

Why it matters: The roster move brings Downs into the squad to fill the vacancy left by Pepi's absence. The team will begin its preparations at the national training center.

What to watch: Camp opens Monday as the group gathers ahead of the four-match schedule.
