He could be out for up to nine months, meaning he may not play again in 2024.

The 23-year-old, who has been capped 33 times by the US, said on X: “I want to let you know about my injury.

“Unfortunately, I have torn my ACL. I will have an operation soon and try to come back as soon as possible to my top level.

“It will be a difficult time for me but I know these times only make me stronger so I will come back to make you all proud.”

It is a major blow for the US, who open their Copa campaign on June 23 against Bolivia.
