The United States national team sent home Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris on Saturday following the U.S.’ 6-0 win over Honduras in the third round of the Hexagonal in CONCACAF 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying.
Morris suffered an ankle injury in club play last Sunday during the Sounders’ 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls, a match which he refused to leave after taking the knock in the first half. He would score the eventual game-winner in the second half.
Morris was a scratch and did not dress for Friday’s match against Honduras.
