In the same press release distributed Saturday, U.S. Soccer also announced that defenders John Brooks and Michael Orozco, midfielder Sebastian Lletget and forward Jordan Morris have been released from camp due to injuries.
After scoring the opening goal, Lletget was forced to leave Friday’s 6-0 win against Honduras in the 18th minute after suffering a left-foot injury. Having dealt with a sinus infection during the week, Brooks also departed the match in the 70th minute.
