U.S. defender Timmy Chandler has withdrawn from the national team's training camp for the next two World Cup qualifiers with a hamstring injury.
The absence of the Eintracht Frankfurt player and veteran of the American team reduces the squad to 26 players and 10 defenders. His withdrawal was announced on Tuesday.
The Americans play a warm-up friendly on Saturday against Venezuela in Sandy, Utah. Their next CONCACAF qualifying match is June 8 against Trinidad and Tobago in Commerce City, Colorado. Three days later, the U.S. team travels to Mexico.
Seeking to overcome a weak start to qualifying, the Americans are fourth out of six nations with six games remaining.
