Michael Orozco replaces injured Omar González in US camp ahead of USA-Jamaica.— Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl) October 8, 2013
Ironclad center back Omar Gonzalez suffered a hip strain in the LA Galaxy's 5-0 win over their cross-town rivals (can they really be considered rivals at this point?) Chivas USA. Gonzalez has been a fixture in Klinsmann's preferred starting XI having played in each of the previous 8 World Cup Qualifiers. His ability to patrol the backline and his presence as an aerial threat will certainly be missed against both Jamaica and Panama. No coach likes to change up the back four, least of all after there has been some semblance of a partnership between Gonzalez and Besler.
Stepping into his place will be Michael Orozco Fiscal of Puebla FC. To me, Orozco Fiscal is the obvious man to take the empty roster spot. He has already proven his worth to the USMNT in the Gold Cup and has even managed to tickle the twine a few times despite seeing limited playing time:
