Eyes at Leeds United will be on USA’s injury updates in the coming days as Brenden Aaronson’s 2022 World Cup threatens to ignite. The 22-year-old, so instrumental for the Whites this term, is yet to start for his country in Qatar.
Aaronson has been restricted to 25, 14 and 45-minute outings for Gregg Berhalter’s side in three group games which have catapulted USA into the second round. Netherlands will face the Americans on Saturday and Aaronson has a real chance of making his full debut in the planet’s biggest football competition.
Jesse Marsch, who was vocal in his support for Tyler Adams and Aaronson this week, and Leeds will be paying special attention because of the injuries suffered on Tuesday night. Christian Pulisic and Josh Sargent were each removed from the Iran match with issues.
