Jackson Yueill has been named as an injury replacement for Alan Soñora on the U.S. men’s national team Gold Cup roster.
Soñora was removed from the USMNT’s win over St. Kitts and Nevis at halftime, and has since been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain.
Following the USMNT’s group stage finale against Trinidad and Tobago, interim coach B.J. Callaghan said that Soñora would be replaced ahead of the knockout stage.
Callaghan has opted to bring in San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Yueill, who has been capped 16 times by the USMNT — most recently in a December 2021 friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The 26-year-old was called up for April’s Continental Clásico against Mexico, but was an unused substitute in a 1-1 draw.
After topping Group A, the USMNT will face Canada on Sunday in the Gold Cup quarterfinal. Kickoff at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati is set for 8 p.m. ET.
