Training in gym Friday
Trusty was training in the gym Friday due to an ankle injury sustained in the 3-2 loss to Turkey on Thursday, according to soccer reporter Steven Goff.
Analysis: Trusty appeared to have suffered the injury in the second half of Thursday's loss, and the USMNT is taking a cautious approach in his recovery. That said, Trusty isn't expected to be a regular starter if Mauricio Pochettino fields his strongest XI, so the Celtic center-back could stay on the bench in the Round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.
Should handle starting role
Trusty is expected to be one of the starting defenders for the USMNT in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Trusty made 41 appearances across all competitions for Celtic in the 2025/26 season, and he's one of the few American center-backs with any sort of consistent rhythm in Europe ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Trusty figures to be part of the defensive line at center-back alongside Chris Richards (ankle) if the latter is fit enough for the opener against Paraguay on Friday, June 12.
