Coupe du monde 2026 : Enorme coup dur pour les États-Unis
The United States, host country of the 2026 World Cup, has just received some very bad news. Atlético Madrid midfielder Johnny Cardoso will be sidelined for several months and is expected to miss the World Cup.
According to Cadena SER, the 24-year-old American international suffered a severe ankle sprain with joint damage after a collision during training. Following several medical examinations and a second opinion obtained in Barcelona, the Madrid club confirmed that the player will require surgery.
This operation aims to permanently stabilize his ankle and prevent any risk of relapse. But above all, it jeopardizes his chances of playing in the World Cup with the American national team.
A huge blow for coach Mauricio Pochettino just weeks before the tournament.
Having arrived at Atlético de Madrid during the last summer transfer window from Real Betis, Johnny Cardoso was coming off a convincing season with 30 matches played.
However, this injury abruptly halts the rise of the young American midfielder, forcing both his club and his national team to revise their plans for the 2026 World Cup.
