Fulham defender Antonee Robinson successfully underwent knee surgery, which will unfortunately prevent him from participating in the U.S. men's national team's Gold Cup campaign. Despite being a standout defender among Americans in Europe's leagues, Robinson’s absence adds to the list of key players who are missing, such as Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic. Pulisic is resting after a heavy season, and the U.S. team aims to prepare strategically for the World Cup amidst these challenges, emphasizing the importance of team dynamics and decision-making.
Robinson has risen to be one of the best-performing Americans in Europe's five major leagues, although he will miss the United States men's national team's run at the Concacaf Gold Cup.
We decided the best for him [Pulisic], the best of the team, the best for the national team is the decision that we made.
Many people can say it's really important for us to be all together for the last time before the World Cup.
I think it is important to create this challenge. I really believe that to build a team is about staying together.
