Ankle blow for Jozy Altidore
UNITED States striker Jozy Altidore has been hospitalised with a sprained ankle, according to transatlantic reports.
Villarreal striker Altidore missed practice yesterday because of the injury but American broadcaster ESPN said X-rays ruled out any serious damage.
The report added his fitness was being assessed on a day-to-day basis. Altidore, 20, who spent last season on loan at Hull, had been expected to lead the USA’s attack against England in their opening World Cup Group C game in Rustenburg on June 12.
