USMNT midfielder Johnny Cardoso leaves camp with ankle injury ahead of proposed January move to La Liga side Real Betis

In an announcement Monday, U.S. soccer said that no replacement will be added for the Internacional midfielder, despite him leaving camp due to injury. It's unknown how the injury occurred or what the severity of it is.

WHAT HAPPENED?

That leaves the USMNT without both Tyler Adams and Johnny in the midfield - meaning - it will be a big window for Luca De La Torre on top of both Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah. The one to watch, though, will be Gio Reyna.With no Christian Pulisic or Tim Weah, the USMNT could alter their positioning on the pitch, utilizing the attacking midfield role even more than usual.Reyna is listed as a forward - not an attacker - on the roster.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Cardoso is linked with a January move to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/usmnt-midfielder-johnny-cardoso-transfer-la-liga-real-betis-january/blt7eadbf7c80ed1dcc" target="_blank">La Liga side Real Betis</a> after some impressive performances on the international stage with the USMNT, as well as with his Brazilian club Internacional.
