USMNT duo Brenden Aaronson and Chris Richards suffer injury scares 26 days before World Cup opener

US men's national team players Chris Richards (Crystal Palace) and Brenden Aaronson (Leeds) both suffered injury scares on the penultimate Sunday of the English Premier League season, just 26 days before the US World Cup opener. Richards twisted his ankle during a match against Brentford, leaving it swollen, while Aaronson was substituted in the 59th minute with a 'dead leg' during Leeds' 1-0 win over Brighton. Both clubs' managers indicated the injuries appeared minor, with USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino set to name his World Cup roster within a week.
