CF Montreal midfielder Djordje Mihailovic could not take advantage of the invitation he received to attend the American selection camp. His injury sustained on Saturday at Stade Saputo will prevent him from participating in June.
Hitting the ankle at the start of the clash, the CF Montreal player tried to continue against Cincinnati FC, but in vain, the pain was too severe. He was finally replaced on the field in the 17th minute of play.
His absence is judged momentarywrote eleven Montreal in a post on social networks, without offering further details about the duration of his recovery.
USA Soccer announced Mihailovic’s departure in a statement on Monday, saying no other players will be added to the roster until the CONCACAF Nations League and Friendships in June.
The United States will first face Morocco on June 1, in Cincinnati, then Uruguay on June 5, in Kansas City, as part of preparatory meetings for the World Cup that will take place from November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.
Mihailovic led CF Montreal this season in scoring goals. He hit the target 7 times in 14 games, 2 units ahead of forward Romell Quioto, who played 12 games. The 23-year-old Floridian also had four assists.
MLS teams are on hiatus due to the international break that began Sunday. Eleven Montreal is no exception and enjoys a three-week vacation. He will resume the collar on June 18 at home against Austin FC.
