What happened: Cristian Roldan is still sidelined by a muscle strain and his status is day to day, per U.S. Soccer. The midfielder has not been cleared, leaving his availability for the next match uncertain.
Why it matters: Roldan's absence pinches the U.S. midfield depth at a critical stretch, putting added load on the available rotation. A day-to-day designation means the coaching staff must plan for two scenarios until he is cleared, complicating selection.
What to watch: Watch for an updated fitness check ahead of the next matchday to see whether Roldan trains or is ruled out.
