Will Matt Turner be fit to face Uruguay? USMNT injury update as Nottingham Forest goalkeeper admits he knew ‘something bad was going to happen’ at Copa America

The Nottingham Forest goalkeeper, who is seeing questions asked of his future at club level, was replaced at half-time by Ethan Horvath as the United States suffered a disappointing setback in Atlanta. The game was tied at 1-1 when Turner was laid low.

The U.S. were always up against it, though, after seeing Tim Weah pick up a reckless red card inside the opening 16 minutes. Panama were also reduced to 10 men late on, but had established a 2-1 lead by that stage and saw out the final minutes to claim three precious points.

A positive result against Uruguay in their final Group C fixture is now imperative for the USMNT, as they take aim at the quarter-finals, with Turner telling TUDN that his status for that game is “unclear” but remains “positive” that he can play – with the next 48 hours set to determine the full extent of a left knee problem.

Turner added on fearing the worst against Panama: “Don’t know why but I had this feeling before the match that something bad was going to happen.” It did and Gregg Berhalter’s side must now offer a positive response as a collective when they head to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Monday.
