USMNT’s Patrick Agyemang Stretchered Off for Derby With Apparent Ankle/Achilles Injury

The setback threatens his World Cup roster push pending a medical update.

Overview

  • Agyemang, who went down late in the first half Monday, left Derby County’s match against Stoke City on a stretcher after landing awkwardly.
  • Medical staff treated his left ankle or Achilles after a non-contact incident, and Derby was expected to issue an update after the match, according to local and Yahoo reporting.
  • With the World Cup roster due May 26, the uncertainty around his status now threatens his place.
  • Analysts say Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright, or Josh Sargent could move up the striker pecking order if he cannot return.
  • The 25-year-old leads Derby with 10 league goals after a move from Charlotte and was recalled in March, scoring against Belgium before facing Portugal.
