Brenden Aaronson suffered another setback this week while on loan from Leeds United, when he was left out of the USMNT squad for the upcoming March international break.
The Whites have one more game before another significant break in Championship football, with the international break approaching in March.
Daniel Farke will have a handful of players leave Thorp Arch to join their respective national teams, as well as a couple on loan.
Brenden Aaronson will not be serving with the USMNT, as confirmed.
Brenden Aaronson, on loan at Union Berlin, has struggled to regain his best form since leaving relegated Leeds in the summer.
With only one goal and no assists this season, his form hasn’t improved, thus Gregg Berhalter has left him out of the USMNT roster for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League games.
There is space for skipper Tyler Adams, who has only recently recovered from a lengthy hamstring layoff.
Leeds and Victor Orta’s £25 million investment appears to have been a waste.
A £25 million signing in the summer of 2022, it appeared like Leeds had finally purchased an offensive midfielder to help cover an obvious vacuum in the squad, but this has not been the case.
Struggling for creativity, he was relegated deservedly last season, but instead of working hard to make things right here, he jumped ship for an easier time in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin, where he’s dipped even further, not starting often and still not getting involved in goals and assists, with only one goal to his name.
Gregg Berhalter has confirmed that he has midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order, which is a terrible reflection of his current standing.
Not many of Victor Orta’s major signings have stuck the landing at Leeds, and Aaronson is unquestionably one of them, with Orta’s replacements under the 49ers now tasked with figuring out how to avoid losing massive sums of money on the 23-year-old in future years.
