McKenzie Replaces Injured Campbell on U.S. Roster for Nations League Series vs. Haiti
Toulouse defender called up after George Campbell suffers groin injury ahead of CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals.
Mark McKenzie has replaced injured defender George Campbell on the United States roster for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced Friday, according to the Associated Press and ESPN. McKenzie, a 27-year-old defender with French club Toulouse, was part of this year's World Cup squad. Campbell, 25, injured his groin Tuesday while playing for English team West Bromwich Albion. The No. 16-ranked United States faces 84th-ranked Haiti on Nov. 14 in Miami and Nov. 17 in Cincinnati in a two-leg series for a berth in the Nations League semifinals, which will be played March 22-30 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The U.S. roster also includes goalkeepers Matt Freese, Diego Kochen and Brian Schwake; defenders such as Sergiño Dest, Chris Richards and Antonee Robinson; midfielders including Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Gio Reyna; and forwards Folarin Balogun, Christian Pulisic and Cavan Sullivan. The two-leg format will determine which side advances toward the Nations League semifinals in Southern California next spring.
