Cameron Carter-Vickers suffered an Achilles injury and will be sidelined for an estimated three to five months. The injury occurred during Celtic's 2-1 Europa League victory over Sturm Graz when the 27-year-old felt pain. Missing several months could reduce his chances of making the United States roster for next summer's World Cup. Celtic exhausted their three substitutions in the match, preventing an earlier withdrawal. Auston Trusty, another U.S. international, is a possible replacement in the Celtic defense while Carter-Vickers recovers.
