Left ankle injury derails US midfielder Sands

By Associated Press

US international James Sands’ World Cup hopes are in jeopardy after a left ankle injury ruled him out of the rest of the Bundesliga season.

Sands was scheduled to have ankle surgery on Friday in Munich, his St Pauli club said. St Pauli gave no timeframe for when the 25-year-old midfielder might return.

Sands was injured after a foul on Sunday against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The full extent of the injury wasn’t revealed until days later, after scans. Sands has 14 appearances for the United States since 2021.

The World Cup, co-hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada, is in three months.
