Chris Richards, Miles Robinson Out For USMNT vs. Belgium | OneFootball

MARIETTA, Ga. – Center backs Chris Richards and Miles Robinson are out for the U.S. Men’s National Team match against Belgium on Saturday, March 28, head coach Mauricio Pochettino stated in Friday's press conference.

Richards played 76 minutes on March 19 for his club, Crystal Palace, in the English Premier League. He arrived to USMNT training in Atlanta, then reported some problems with his knee that limited him the rest of the week.

The team is continuing to assess Richards to determine his availability for Tuesday's match against Portugal.

Robinson picked up a minor groin injury during training. Pochettino said the former Atlanta United standout is “definitely out” for both matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Center back was a deep position on the March roster with five total called into camp. The team will have Tim Ream, Mark McKenzie and Auston Trusty available. Pochettino also listed Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Joe Scally and Tanner Tessmann of Olympique Lyon as options to fill in.

The U.S. Men’s National Team faces Belgium, presented by AT&T, on Saturday, March 28 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
