Antonee Robinson - knee
Fulham defender Antonee Robinson (28) is a doubt for the United States Men’s National Team ahead of their friendly against Ecuador, after sitting out Thursday’s training session. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Robinson did not train and will be assessed before the match to determine his availability.
Pochettino did not specify the nature of Robinson’s issue, describing it only as a precautionary measure. The decision to rest the left-back is seen as a sensible step, given his heavy workload for both Fulham in the Premier League and the U.S. national team in recent months.
The U.S. coaching staff remains optimistic that his condition is minor, and that he could return in time for the team’s next friendly against Australia in Colorado (The Athletic).
