SAN JOSE, Calif. - U.S. national team manager Bruce Arena says that despite a glut of absences, he's convinced that the team's depth will carry the Americans through Friday's critical World Cup qualifier against Honduras.
The U.S. are missing defenders Fabian Johnson, Eric Lichaj and DeAndre Yedlin and forward Bobby Wood to injury, while midfielder Jermaine Jones and defender Timmy Chandler are suspended. Goalkeeper Brad Guzan is with his wife following the birth of his daughter earlier this week, and will miss the match as well.
"It's kind of a next man up [situation]," said Arena at Thursday's press conference.
