EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Midfielder Julian Green will miss the United States' exhibition games against Ecuador and Honduras because of a rib injury.

The U.S. plays Ecuador on Friday night at East Hartford, Connecticut, in the international farewell match for Landon Donovan, the country's career scoring leader. The Americans face Honduras on Tuesday in Boca Raton, Florida.
