Jordan Morris will not be joining the US Mens National Team as they take on Mexico and Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying in the coming week. USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann has replaced the injured Seattle Sounder on the roster with LA Galaxy’s Alan Gordon.
Morris was substituted at halftime by Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer in the second leg of the Western Conference semifinal. The problem was initially reported as a thigh injury by the club staff, but Schmetzer said after the match that the rookie had a hamstring strain.
The 22-year-old’s replacement could be seen as good news or bad news for Sounders fans.
