Auston Trusty Expected to Be Ready for USA World Cup Round of 32

Celtic defender Auston Trusty scored the opening goal for the United States in its 3‑2 loss to Turkey at the World Cup, then left the field on a stretcher after rolling his ankle in the second half. Speaking to FOX Sports, Trusty said the injury was painful but he expects to be fit for the United States’ upcoming Round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both the U.S. national team and his club Celtic, which is beginning pre‑season and preparing for a Champions League play‑off, have welcomed the tentative update.

Trusty’s quick recovery is seen as important for Celtic’s defensive plans and for the U.S. side, which lacks left‑footed centre‑backs and would need to reshuffle its back line if he were unavailable.
