USMNT striker Patrick Agyemang injured in England

U.S. men's national team striker Patrick Agyemang left his club match in England on a stretcher Monday.

Agyemang, 25, landed awkwardly after jumping to challenge for the ball late in the first half of Derby County's 2-0 win against Stoke City. He was replaced by Jaydon Banel in the 41st minute.

Agyemang played in both USMNT friendlies last month in losses against Portugal and Belgium, scoring a goal in the latter.

Those were his first appearances for the national team since starting in the semifinal and final of the 2025 Gold Cup in July. Overall, he has recorded six goals in 14 caps for the U.S.

Any long-term injury could jeopardize his status with the U.S. squad as it prepares for this summer's FIFA World Cup in North America. The United States plays its first game in group play on June 12 at Inglewood, Calif., against Paraguay.
