A week after the United States men's national team was hit by an injury at the forward position, one of the top full-backs in the talent pool left his club's match with one as well.

Greg Garza, who is one of many fighting for the two starting positions on the defensive flanks, left Club Tijuana's match on Saturday after suffering a knock in the first half. 

Outside of the injury front, a few USMNT players were involved in key matches in relegation battles across Europe this weekend. 

Before we get to that, we start our weekly USMNT watch in Mexico with the Garza news.

 

Garza Leaves Match with an Injury

Garza suffered his injury right before the half in Club Tijuana's 3-2 win over Pachuca on Saturday. 

The left-back appeared to suffer a knock to his lower right leg, but the extent of the injury is unknown as of now, per a report on MLSSoccer.com from Tom Marshall. 

Over the last six months, Garza has been a consistent figure in the USMNT camp, and he has emerged as one of the top players to fill the void at left-back.



If he is out for a decent amount of time, the door could be for Fabian Johnson or Tim Ream to cement their status with the first team. 

Joe Corona was the player who replaced Garza in the 41st minute of Xolos' come-from-behind win in Liga MX. He was not involved in any of the three goals. 

Elsewhere in Mexico, Edgar Castillo went the full 90 minutes for Atlas in a 3-0 defeat to Veracruz. Michael Orozco also lasted the entire match for Puebla in a 4-1 win over Queretaro.



Neither Herculez Gomez or Jonathan Bornstein featured in the match at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc.
