U.S. defender Cameron Carter-Vickers will be out of action for several months due to an Achilles injury he sustained while playing for Celtic. Manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed the news, estimating that Carter-Vickers could be sidelined for three to five months, potentially impacting his chances of making the U.S. team for the upcoming World Cup. The 27-year-old felt the injury during Celtic’s recent Europa League match. Rodgers had to use all his substitutions due to other injuries, unable to take Carter-Vickers off the field. Auston Trusty, another U.S. international, may step in to fill the void left by Carter-Vickers. Rodgers confirmed the nature of the injury as an Achilles problem in an interview with Sky Sports.
