On Sunday afternoon, Graham Zusi arrived in Tucson, Ariz., the commencement of his ninth preseason with Sporting Kansas City.
The ensuing two-week stay in the Southwest will offer some uncertainty.
After his stint with the United States men’s national team last month included a positional move to the defensive line, Zusi rejoins a club that has viewed him primarily as an offensive weapon for the better part of a decade.
So, what next? Asked that very question, Zusi’s initial response was a gesture.
A shoulder shrug.
“I’m not really sure yet how it’s going to play out,” Zusi said.
