Berhalter himself didn’t sound unduly concerned about this rare complication, noting how many European leagues – like the Austrian league where Philadelphia Union product Brenden Aaronson stars for RB Salzburg – pause for winter breaks around the holiday season.
“Some of the European guys, Brenden Aaronson, for example, [hadn’t] played in a month, he was off December 12. A guy like Walker Zimmerman, his last game was December 18 and he was back in camp in December on January 7, so there wasn’t that much time off for these guys,” said the coach at the start of the January camp.
“What we’re going to do is use these next weeks to evaluate … . We’re going to play three scrimmages and get them up to close to 90 minutes in the last scrimmage, and then we’ll be able to tell. And the most important thing is that we can put a team on the field that can compete at a high level because we know that’s what World Cup qualifying games are about.”
