Given the insufficient results of the Mexican team, the protagonists of the octagonal qualifying round for the Qatar World Cup 2022 are Canada and the United States, and it is precisely the latter that records two noticeable casualties ahead of the clash against Honduras.
The troops led by Gregg Berhalter will not count in the next game with their captain Tyler Adams and defenseman Chris Richards, who were already announced as sidelined due to injuries sustained in the heavy 2-0 loss at home against Canada in the last match.
Through a statement, the US team explained that Adams was diagnosed with an injury to the right hamstring, Richards, for his part, seriously injured his right ankle.
“The players continue to be evaluated to establish a schedule for their return”
Berhalter should look for variants in its style of play against Honduras of the experienced Colombian coach Hernán “Bolillo” Gómez, who reaffirmed that he continues to lead the “Catrachos” and is motivated to get good results after several negative scores in these qualifiers.

Surprisingly, it is Canada that occupies the first place in the octagonal with 22 points, followed by the United States and Mexico (18 sts each); Honduras is in the bottom of the table with just three units and no chance of fighting for a quota against Qatar 675.
