Atlanta United’s Brad Guzan and Darlington Nagbe received international call-ups to the U.S. Men’s National Team for upcoming friendlies in Europe.

Both will be available for Sunday’s second leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals against NYCFC,

Guzan, 34, has started 33 matches at goaltender for Atlanta United during the regular season. He posted 20 victories, his single-season career best mark. Guzan earned his 59th cap for the United States in a 1-1 draw against Peru on Oct. 16.
