“We’re going to see if and when he can make the trip over, if it makes sense, based on his health” for qualifiers at Canada on Sunday and against Honduras on Wednesday in St. Paul, Minn., Berhalter said.
Steffen entered last year’sfinal qualifying stage with back problems, yielding the job to Turner, who proceeded to start all three matches in September and the first two in October. Steffen’s qualifying debut came on Oct. 13 in Columbus against Costa Rica. He then started both November matches, against Mexico and Jamaica.
Turner has been in MLS’s offseason since the New England Revolution was eliminated from the playoffs in late November.
