Bob Bradley trimmed his training camp down to a 20-man traveling squad.

Bob Bradley - USA
After a February training camp in Carson, Calif., Bob Bradley announced his United States team that will travel to Florida to face El Salvador in an international friendly Wednesday night.

Four players who participated in the camp won't make the flight with the rest of the 20-man squad. Defenders Omar Gonzalez and Michael Orozco will return to their clubs. Zach Thornton picked up a knock and will remain in California, while fellow goalkeeper Kevin Hartman joined the camp because he cannot agree to a new deal with his club side, the Kansas City Wizards.

Oguchi Onyewu, of course, trained lightly with the team as part of his rehabilitation from knee surgery in October. He will remain in California to concentrate on his recovery before joining AC Milan when fit.

Of the 20 traveling players, all but one represent Major League Soccer sides. Clarence Goodson joined late from Norwegian club IK Start to bolster the defense.

Full Squad:

Goalkeepers: Troy Perkins (D.C. United), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
Defenders: Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Clarence Goodson (IK Start), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Heath Pearce (FC Dallas), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC)
Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Geoff Cameron (Houston Dynamo), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Eddie Gaven (Columbus Crew), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Dax McCarty (FC Dallas), Chris Pontius (D.C. United), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew)

Forwards: Conor Casey (Colorado), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Jeff Cunningham (FC Dallas), Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake)
