LONDON -- Goalkeeper Tim Howard says he is ready to make himself available for the United States national team again after taking a break since the 2014 World Cup.
The 36-year-old Howard, who plays for Everton in the English Premier League, was allowed a sabbatical from international soccer in August last year, but he could now return after the ongoing CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Howard is targeting the United States' friendly match against Peru on Sept. 4.
"I spoke to coach [Jurgen] Klinsmann, and we have had open lines of communication," Howard said. "After that tournament finishes ... I will make myself available for selection."
