This morning, U.S. Soccer announced that Atlanta United defender Miles Robinson, who was called up to the United States U-23s this month, will instead be added to the USMNT roster for upcoming CONCACAF Nations League matches this week against Cuba and Canada. He will join the team in Washington, DC today for their training camp.
Robinson will replace Walker Zimmerman, who was injured during yesterday’s match for Los Angeles Football Club against the Colorado Rapids. Because of the injury, Zimmerman was forced to withdraw from the USMNT roster. Robinson made his national team debut last month, appearing in matches against Mexico and Uruguay.

U.S. Soccer is also evaluating Toronto FC forward Jozy Altidore, who also was injured in his match yesterday afternoon against Columbus Crew SC. It is unclear how serious his injury will be and whether he will be held out of the team.
Additionally, forward Jozy Altidore is undergoing further evaluation later today after departing @TorontoFC’s match on Sunday in the 70th minute.
