World Cup qualifying 2022: USMNT battling nerves, history
It's a scary time for U.S. soccer, but Alexi Lalas thinks this team has the mettle to take the final steps in World Cup qualifying.MARCH 23, 2022
Gets sent off versus Nantes Weah was given a straight red card in the 64th minute of Saturday's match versus Nantes for a reckless challenge.
Impact Weah was given the nod for a rare start here but it didn't end well at all. His tackle initially seemed clean but the continuation of his slide caught up the ankle of Samuel Moutoussamy causing a rough injury for his opponent and after a VAR review the winger was given his marching orders. Burak Yilmaz should return in the starting XI after the break.

Creates three chances versus Brest Weah had three chances created, four crosses (one accurate) and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.
Impact Weah was very active and impressive in his first start since early December.

Impact Weah is mounting an impressive season with three assists already but this issue could derail his form. He'll be out at least until early January but there's still no specific return date set and depending on the recovery may also have to wait a few weeks into the first month of 2022.

Ruled out for Troyes match Weah has been ruled out for Saturday's match versus Troyes, L'Equipe reports.
Impact The reason for Weah's absence remained unclear and the hope is still there that he'll be able to return for next week's decisive UCL group finale as Lille will need all pieces for this one. Jonathan Ikone should take over the right wing in the former's absence.

Assists in win over Rennes Weah tallied one assist, two shots (off target), three crosses (none accurate) and three aerials won in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.
Impact Weah was terrific here and posted a ton of threat versus the hosts. He set up the early opener with his first assist since early October and third on the season but is still looking for his first score of the campaign for Lille. The winger has been showing an effort for the goal though after taking 10 shots over his past five starts.
