USMNT’s Johnny Cardoso questionable for Gold Cup quarterfinal

MINNEAPOLIS — American midfielder Johnny Cardoso is uncertain for Sunday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal against Costa Rica because of an ankle injury.

The 23-year-old started friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland this month, didn’t dress for the Americans’ tournament opener against Trinidad and Tobago and made late-game substitute appearances in group stage games against Saudi Arabia on June 19 and Haiti last Sunday.

“We need to assess,” coach Mauricio Pochettino said Saturday.
