Norwich City and the U.S. national team got some good news on Friday, as Josh Sargent was declared fit to face Rotherham.
Sargent has missed two consecutive matches with a calf problem, raising fears his availability for the World Cup could come into question.
But speaking at a press conference on Friday, Norwich head coach Dean Smith said Sargent would be ready for Saturday’s game in Rotherham.
“They’re both training with us today so it should be the case that they are available,” Smith said of Sargent and defender Dimitris Giannoulis.
“Sarge is a definite yes. Dimi is one we have to look at, he is just back from a long-term injury.”
Sargent has put himself in the mix for a World Cup roster spot with a stellar campaign for Norwich City so far, scoring eight goals in 17 appearances.
His return will be a boost ahead of next week’s World Cup roster reveal. Several USMNT players are currently battling injuries, including key figures like Weston McKennie, Matt Turner, Chris Richards and Luca de la Torre.
