CHRIS RICHARDS NEWS

Picks up injury over break Richards picked up an ankle injury late-on during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Canada. According to Hoffenheim, he suffered "serious bruising on his foot."

Impact Richards picked up an ankle injury and is now a doubt for Saturday's trip to Mainz. The severity of the injury is unclear, but he was always going to be unlikely to play so soon after returning from international duty. Add in the ankle injury and more likely that not Richards will be unavailable Saturday.
