LA Galaxy and U.S. men's national team forward Gyasi Zardes will miss the rest of the MLS regular season after breaking his foot, the Galaxy announced on Tuesday.
Zardes suffered the injury on a tackle by the Vancouver Whitecaps' Kendall Waston over the weekend, and it keeps him out of the USA's two World Cup qualifiers in early September. Given the vague timetable set by the Galaxy, the broken fifth metatarsal will at the very least rule him out of the USA's October friendlies against Cuba and New Zealand, and it could prevent him from playing in the start of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying hexagonal in November, provided the USA punches its ticket to the final round.
