Josh Sargent faces uncertain US future despite scoring at will with Norwich

The American striker has been in splendid form at club level, but that has yet to translate to his national team

It's not too warm or too bright for Josh Sargent. He's parked in a chair on the patio of the US men's national team hotel in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles. He's facing the horizon and embracing the sun, the moment. There are possibilities ahead, including in the Nations League finals that were then due to take place in a couple days.

Sargent arrived for his second camp under Mauricio Pochettino as a safe bet to be the starting striker for the US men's national team after Ricardo Pepi and Folarin Balogun were left off the Concacaf Nations League Finals due to injuries. Prior to the semifinal against Panama, he wasn't feeling the heat.
