Man City get Zack Steffen injury update ahead of USMNT fixtures

Zack Steffen USMNT Manchester Manchester City Southampton United States

Steffen's injury wasn't thought to be serious enough to rule him out of the three World Cup qualifiers coming up for the USA, but has troubled him enough to delay him linking up with the rest of the US Men's National Team (USMNT) players and their coach Gregg Berhalter in their training camp in Ohio. A statement from USMNT said that Steffen's situation would be assessed on a daily basis.
