Tillman was in the US training camp for the past two weeks but the 25-year-old didn't play in a pair of warmup games, a 5-1 loss to Colombia last weekend and a 1-1 draw against Brazil on Wednesday. He will return to Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC.
US coach Gregg Berhalter kept forward Josh Sargent, who didn't play in the two games as he recovers from an ankle injury.

Players will report to the Dallas area on Sunday to resume training.
