NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams will miss Tuesday night's friendly against Switzerland because of a foot injury.
“I hope it's not a big issue,” coach Mauricio Pochettino said Monday. “I think we can manage in a good way and rest him a few days and then see if he can be ready for the Gold Cup.”
Adams played the second half of Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Turkey.
The Americans open the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday. They already are missing are Christian Pulisic , Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Antonee Robinson, Sergiño Dest, Yunus Musah, Folarin Balogun and Gio Reyna. Some are hurt, some want time off and some will be at the Club World Cup.
The U.S. will be trying to avoid its first four-game losing streak since dropping five straight in 2007.
