updated 4:37 p.m. ET Sept. 29, 2011

MIAMI - Defender Oguchi Onyewu will rejoin the U.S. men's national soccer team for upcoming matches against Honduras and Ecuador.

Onyewu is one of only three players on the 22-man list released Thursday who has not been in camp with the Americans since coach Jurgen Klinsmann took over last month. The others are goalkeeper Nick Rimando and German-born Danny Williams, now eligible to play for the United States after his citizenship was certified.

Top Americans Landon Donovan, Jozy Altidore, Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Carlos Bocanegra and Michael Bradley are among those selected.

The U.S. plays Honduras in Miami on Oct. 8, then travels to Harrison, N.J. to face Ecuador on Oct. 11. The team will begin training next week in South Florida.
