USA striker Patrick Agyemang's participation in the upcoming World Cup is uncertain after he was stretchered off the field during a Derby County Championship game against Stoke City on Monday. Agyemang suffered an apparent leg injury after landing awkwardly while controlling the ball. The extent of the injury is unknown, pending scan results, but Derby's manager expressed concern. Agyemang has been a key player for Derby, scoring a team-leading 10 goals this season and helping them contend for promotion. He recently earned his first US national team appearances since July 2025, scoring one goal in two games. A significant injury could threaten his place on the USA squad as they prepare to host the World Cup, with their first match scheduled for June 12 against Paraguay in Los Angeles.
