Seventeen-year-old Cavan Sullivan is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, forcing him to miss crucial matches for the Philadelphia Union. His absence is felt keenly as the team faces tough competition, including a significant clash against Nashville SC.
Sullivan sustained the ankle injury on October 17 during a match against Charlotte FC. Despite finishing that game, he has been unable to play since. His condition was initially thought to be minor, but he was subsequently ruled unavailable.
The injury casts a shadow over his potential participation in the upcoming U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) camp in November. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is expected to announce his roster for the Concacaf Nations League matches soon.
It remains uncertain when Sullivan will return to play. While considered questionable for some matches, his recovery timeline is critical for both the Union's playoff aspirations and the USMNT's future plans.
