Midfielder Malik Tillman will miss the United States' exhibitions against Germany and Ghana because of an unspecified injury.

The 21-year old left PSV Eindhoven's match Sunday at Sparta Rotterdam after 72 minutes. Club América forward Alex Zendejas will replace Tillman, the USSF announced Monday.

The Americans play Germany on Saturday at East Hartford, Connecticut, and Ghana three days later in Nashville. Germany will be playing its first game under new coach Julian Nagelsmann.

American players began training Monday at the Brentwood Academy. Defender Sergiño Dest, midfielders Johnny Cardoso, Luca de la Torre and Lennard Maloney and forward Ricardo Pepi had not yet arrived.
