CARSON, Calif. — Santos Laguna left back Jorge Villafana has been added to the U.S. roster for its training camp ahead of this weekend’s exhibition against Serbia.

The 27-year-old has never played for the national team. He was with Chivas USA from 2007-13 and Portland from 2014-15.

Villafana’s addition was announced Wednesday.

Twenty-nine players are in camp ahead of Sunday’s game in San Diego, the first for the U.S. since Bruce Arena returned for his second stint as coach, replacing Jurgen Klinsmann.
