Midfielder Johnny Cardosa will undergo surgery on his right ankle. The surgery is scheduled to take place soon, and the exact date for his return to the field will be determined after the medical team’s evaluation. This situation poses serious challenges for the U.S. men’s national team. The coaching staff must announce the final roster of players for the upcoming World Cup in exactly fifteen days. Cardosa is considered an important player in the midfield, so his absence will require the coaches to make immediate adjustments to their tactical plans. The doctors have already agreed on a personalized rehabilitation program to help him fully recover from the surgery, without any risk of complications. The loss of a player of this level just before the championship four years later significantly affects the strength of the American team’s midfield.
