Rubio Rubin doesn't train Monday

American fans hoping to see more of young star Rubio Rubin won't be too happy with the news out of training on Monday. According to Ives Galarcep, the 18-year-old attacker sat out due to an illness on Monday.

While that doesn't mean he won't start for the United States on Tuesday against Ireland, it would be a tad bit surprising if Klinsmann opted to play a teenager struggling with an illness in a friendly match. Hopefully he'll suit up, but don't be stunned if he doesn't.

Klinsmann has plenty of options at forward, and could opt to give fellow youngster Jordan Morris a look. There's also Bobby Wood, who has made a handful of recent substitute appearances, and veteran Chris Wondolowski. Miguel Ibarra, while usually a winger, is theoretically an option as well.

Given how good Rubin was against Colombia on Friday, this is disappointing, but we'll be seeing plenty more of the Utrecht man soon enough.
