United States defender/midfielder Tyler Adams has pulled out of the Gold Cup with a groin injury, U.S. Soccer announced on Tuesday.
FC Dallas defender Reggie Cannon has been tabbed to take his place on the roster.
"Following further evaluation in New York City, the 20-year-old has been diagnosed with acute chronic groin issues that will require a minimum of 6-8 weeks recovery period," U.S. Soccer said in a statement.
The announcement is a huge blow for U.S. manager Gregg Berhalter, who is feeling some heat following two poor performances in Gold Cup tune-up losses against Jamaica and Venezuela.
