USMNT defender Chris Richards has suffered World Cup heartbreak after revealing he cannot play in the tournament due to injury.
The Crystal Palace center back's season has been plagued by a leg injury and he has not recovered in time to head to Qatar in less than two weeks.
Richards announced his crushing news on his Instagram profile Tuesday.
His post read: 'Gutted that this injury has ruled me out of the World Cup but I know that the boys will go crazy regardless... will be rooting for y'all the whole way,' followed by a red love heart.
