Impact Arreaga didn't actually feature in either of Ecuador's international friendlies over the last week, but he returns to his club injured all the same.

Jordan Morris - Receives Gold Cup call up Morris has been named to the USMNT's Gold Cup roster from June 24-July 16, meaning he'll likely miss the Sounders' next four MLS games at least.

Impact Morris's nine goals this season are only bettered by four players in the league at the moment, but he's now set to miss another few weeks of action for the Gold Cup after just returning from a minor groin injury.
