The 22-year-old defender was expected to play a major role in manager Gregg Berhalter’s side in Qatar, but Richards has not played a senior match for Crystal Palace since late August due to a leg injury. 

“Gutted that this injury has ruled me out of the world cup but i know that the boys will go crazy regardless … will be rooting for y’all the whole way […] go out and make history,” Richards posted.
