USA’s Tim Weah to miss World Cup qualifier in Canada due to vaccine issue

• USA and Lille forward unable to travel for Sunday's qualifier
• Weah meets vaccination standards in France but not Canada

USA forward Timothy Weah was unable to travel to Canada for Sunday's World Cup qualifier because he did not meet the vaccination requirements to cross the Canadian border, coach Gregg Berhalter said Saturday.

Weah, who was involved in the play that led to the only goal in Thursday's 1-0 victory over El Salvador, has received one vaccine dose and was infected with Covid-19 before he could receive his second shot, Berhalter said.
