United States midfielder Johnny Cardoso has suffered what the club deemed a “high grade” sprain in his right ankle, his club Atlético Madrid said on Thursday. The injury casts the midfielder’s participation in the 2026 World Cup in serious doubt, with just five weeks to go until the tournament starts and less than three weeks to go until US head coach Mauricio Pochettino names his squad.
High-grade ankle sprains typically take at least a month to recover from, and often more.
