Two members of the United States men’s national soccer team received additional discipline from Concacaf on Friday stemming from the fallout of the U.S.’s heated Concacaf Nations League semifinal matchup against Mexico.
Midfielder Weston McKennie and right back Sergiño Dest were assessed three-match and two-match suspensions, respectively, after both players were given red cards and automatic one-game suspensions for separate confrontations with Mexico players.
The violations forced McKennie and Dest to watch on the sidelines as the U.S. went on to repeat as Nations League champions with a win over Canada on June 18. The USMNT will see its next action in the Gold Cup starting on Saturday, which neither McKennie and Dest were set to compete in.
