Sunderland forward Jozy Altidore will not feature in the USA�s World Cup encounter with Portugal this Sunday due to hamstring injury, the U.S. Soccer Federation confirmed.
This news is a huge blow for the entire squad as they are looking to advance to the knockout phase.
"He�s a big player for us," American midfielder Kyle Beckerman said, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola (http://indo11.com/) indo11.com.
"We�re extremely bummed for him and for the team, but we bring 23 players, and it�s just a chance for somebody to step up. Hopefully the injury�s not too bad and we can see Jozy later in the tournament."
And Altidore�s teammate Jermaine Jones added: "It�s bad news, but I think the team will handle this. We have to handle that."
