WASHINGTON, Nov 14 — Veteran United States goalkeeper Tim Howard will miss the World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica tomorrow because of a thigh injury, US Soccer announced yesterday.
Howard was diagnosed with an injury to his right adductor, which he suffered during Friday’s 2-1 World Cup qualifying loss for the US against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio.
The 37-year-old went down when taking a goal kick and had to be replaced in the 40th minute by Brad Guzan.
“The injury will force Howard to miss the USA-Costa Rica World Cup qualifier on Nov. 15 in San Jose, Costa Rica,” US Soccer said in a statement.
“He has returned to Colorado for further evaluation and to determine treatment plans.” — Reuters
