USMNT injuries: which players will not be in the match against the Mexican national team?

With this one, the U.S. national soccer team now has 4 important absences for its match against the toughest rival in CONCACAF.

Which player is the new confirmed loss for the Stars and Stripes?

According to a statement released by the USMNT, Brenden Aaronson will miss the USMNT's match against the Mexican national soccer team. 

He will miss the match due to an injury he suffered yesterday when he was scheduled to play for RB Salzburg against Wolfsberg

According to information provided by the USMNT, "After reviewing updated medical information and in consultation with Red Bull Salzburg, it has been determined that Brenden Aaronson will not be available to play in the #USMNT's upcoming World Cup qualifiers." 

According to information accessed on U. S. Soccer's official website, Aaronson suffered a knee injury during training last weekend and will not recover sufficiently in time for the matches.

As a result, the striker has been ruled out of the World Cup Qualifying squad, meaning he will miss the matches against Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica

Due to this knee injury, the USMNT will miss out on the talent of Aaronson, who in his 60 appearances for RB Salzburg, has scored 12 goals and set up 15 assists.

Aaronson has not suffered as much from injury as other USMNT players such as Sergiño Dest, who will miss another call-up due to lower back pain.

What are the USMNT's other notable absentees for the match against the Mexican national soccer team?

In addition to Aaronson, Gregg Berhalter will be without Weston McKennie, Sergiño Dest, and Matt Turner, who are also injured. 

The absence of these players will be felt as the Stars and Stripes seek to go for first place in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, a place now occupied by the Canadian national soccer team.

So far, the USMNT has a direct ticket to attend the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, as they are in third place in the overall standings. 

However, this could change if Berhalter's team is defeated by Mexico, which would put them at risk of not attending the World Cup directly.

If this situation occurs, the Stars and Stripes would have to play a re-qualification match, hoping that Panama's national soccer team does not take away this opportunity.
