U.S. national soccer team players arrived in Fairfax on Monday from near (D.C. United’s Paul Arriola) and far (Turkish-based Tyler Boyd), but one call-up stayed behind for an injury assessment.
Veteran striker Jozy Altidore remained in Ontario after departing Toronto FC’s 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew with a second-half calf injury. U.S. Coach Gregg Berhalter was awaiting word on whether Altidore will be healthy enough to report to camp ahead of Nations League matches against Cuba on Friday at Audi Field and Canada next Tuesday in Toronto.
“I don’t even think I should speculate on it,” Berhalter said before light workouts at George Mason University.
