U.S. defender Timothy Chandler set to return to Frankfurt after Cuba game

Timothy Chandler is set to return to Germany following United States' friendly with Cuba, Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Bruno Hubner has confirmed to Bild.

Chandler, 26, was called up to the U.S. team after missing the 2016 Copa Centenario with an injury. The Frankfurt full-back travelled to the States last week, but will return to Germany after the Cuba match.

Following a phone call between U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac, U.S. Soccer agreed to allow Chandler an early return. "They obliged. Timmy will be back on Monday," Bruno Hubner, Frankfurt's sporting director, told Bild.
