PANAMA CITY, Panama -- United States men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter said that Weston McKennie's quad injury is "not severe," but still thought it better to leave him out of Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Panama.
McKennie didn't make the trip to Panama after playing all 90 minutes in Thursday's 2-0 win over Jamaica that put the U.S. atop the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying standings, ahead of rivals Mexico on goal difference.
The U.S. Soccer Federation announced on Friday that goalkeeper Zack Steffen and left-back Antonee Robinson wouldn't travel to Panama either due to quarantine restrictions in the U.
