CINCINNATI, Ohio -- In the moments after Atlanta United and United States men's national team defender Miles Robinson went down with a torn Achilles tendon, international teammate Walker Zimmerman got a text from a friend who was inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium telling him that Robinson's injury "looks bad." Zimmerman then found the video on Twitter and saw the responses, and his "stomach just completely sank."
"You start thinking about the timelines, you start thinking about the math, and while it's not impossible to come back, certainly it's going to be an uphill battle," Zimmerman told members of the media on Monday.
