---

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - United States men's national team coach Bob Bradley named his 18-player roster that will travel to Trinidad in advance of the FIFA World Cup Qualifying game against Trinidad & Tobago on Wednesday in Port of Spain.

The U.S. has already clinched a spot in the next round of CONCACAF qualifying with a 6-1 win over Cuba on Saturday, but the match is crucial for T&Ts hopes of advancing to the Final Round. The U.S. is in first place in Group 1 of semifinal round qualifying with 12 points, while T&T is tied with Guatemala on five points with two matches remaining.

Bradley released nine players from Saturday's roster, while adding four players from Major League Soccer. Carlos Bocanegra, Michael Bradley, Steve Cherundolo, Brian Ching, Jay DeMerit, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Oguchi Onyewu returned to their clubs while Toronto FC's Marvell Wynne, the Columbus Crew's Robbie Rogers, the Colorado Rapids' Pablo Mastroeni and Chivas USA's Jonathan Bornstein were added to the roster.
