USA coach Gregg Berhalter says Matt Turner will fight-back at Nottingham Forest.

The USA goalkeeper was dropped for Odysseas Vlachodimos for victory over Aston Villa last weekend.

I had a conversation with Matt, I called him immediately," Berhalter said at his press conference. This is part of playing in the best league in the world, right? This is all part of a player's journey. There's ups and downs.

For him, it's about being mentally strong enough to endure this. You see it every week, players get dropped. And it's, for him, about having the right mentality. We spoke about it.

"He's refocused, and he's competing every single day in training and (waiting) until he can get an opportunity again."
