U.S. Suffers First Casualty


Defender Steve Cherundolo became the Americans' first roster casualty for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier game against Mexico. Cherundolo hasn't played since January 10 when he had to leave his side Hannover's match at the end of the first half with a strained right hip. The announcement was made Friday by U.S. head coach Bob Bradley.

Bradley will conduct a press conference Monday, February 9 to discuss the roster for the match against Mexico with the press. Ninetiethminute.com will bring the details of the press conference to our readers at 9AM PST.

Cherundolo's likely replacement at right back should be Frankie Hejduk, who has been training with the team in Carson, CA, and is certainly a veteran of this type of affairs.
