Cardoso is out, but Aaronson returns as National Team is stretched thin
The United States men's national team will be without midfielders Johnny Cardoso and Aidan Morris for Monday's CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal second leg against Jamaica in St. Louis.
Cardoso, who has made 18 appearances for the national team, was forced off in the 21st minute of Thursday's 1-0 first-leg victory with a left hamstring strain. The Real Betis midfielder returned to Spain for rehabilitation. Morris, who has established himself at English Championship side Middlesbrough this season, is sidelined with a knee sprain.
However, the U.S. received positive news as Brenden Aaronson has recovered from illness and returned to training. The Leeds United midfielder, who has recorded four goals and one assist in Championship play this season, should be available for selection.
No replacements will be added to the 23-player roster as the U.S. looks to protect its one-goal aggregate lead and advance to a fourth consecutive Nations League semifinal.
