The New England Revolution left back has six career caps

New England Revolution left back DeJuan Jones has been added to the U.S. men’s national team roster for Tuesday’s friendly against Oman, U.S. Soccer has announced.

Jones replaces Joe Scally, who has left the team due to family reasons.

The USMNT will now face Oman at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn. at 8:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday (TNT, Universo and Peacock).

Jones has earned all six of his USMNT caps this year, with the 26-year-old making his debut in a January friendly against Serbia.

The Revolution defender turned in a strong Gold Cup, starting four of the USMNT’s five matches in a tournament that ended with a shootout defeat to Panama in the semifinal.

Jones has started 18 MLS matches for New England this season, scoring one goal and adding four assists.
