for 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup
The U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team has made a major roster change for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Timothy Weah, the son of former FIFA World Player of the Year George Weah, was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to an injury. To replace him, the team has named Andrija Mihailovic to the roster.
Mihailovic is a 21-year-old midfielder who currently plays for the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer. He has been with the Fire since 2018 and has made 33 appearances for the team, scoring five goals and providing four assists. He has also been part of the U.S. Youth National Teams since 2015, playing for the U-17, U-20, and U-23 teams.
Mihailovic is an attacking midfielder who is known for his technical ability and creativity on the ball. He is a dynamic player who can create chances for his teammates and score goals himself. He is also a versatile player who can play in multiple positions in midfield.
Mihailovic’s addition to the roster is a great boost for the USMNT as they look to defend their title at the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He brings a wealth of experience at the youth level and will be a valuable asset for the team as they look to make a deep run in the tournament.
The USMNT will kick off their Gold Cup campaign on June 18th against Guyana in St. Paul, Minnesota. They will then face Trinidad and Tobago on June 22nd and Panama on June 26th in their other group stage matches. With Mihailovic now in the squad, the USMNT will be looking to make a strong run at the tournament and defend their title.
