SAN JOSE — Earthquakes starters Anibal Godoy and Harold Cummings could miss the next six games while representing Panama at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Panamanians were the only San Jose players named Wednesday to rosters for the tournament from June 14-July 15. Their absences will force Quakes coach Mikael Stahre to make big adjustments in the midfield and backline starting Saturday night as San Jose (2-7-3, nine points) tries to join the Western Conference playoff race.
The Earthquakes travel to Chicago on Saturday hoping to end a two-game losing streak. San Jose also has a fourth-round U.
