When Josh Sargent was pulled from Norwich City’s match vs. Luton Town on Tuesday, it may have been cause for concern for the U.S. men’s national team, but Canaries manager Dean Smith has moved to ease that worry.
Sargent, who has found his scoring form for the second-tier English club and is firmly in the mix to be part of the U.S. World Cup team, was taken off at halftime with an apparent leg injury, but he’s not expected to miss any time.
"Josh got a whack on the back of the leg, so he couldn't really extend himself. I don't think it'll be too bad, I expect him to be back on Saturday,” Smith said after the 1–0 loss. “We couldn't take the risk on him tonight.”
