Washington, Oct 28 (AP) Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner missed the 2-0 Europa League loss at PSV Eindhoven, another injury worry for the U.S. men's national team ahead of the World Cup.
Turner has a tight groin, Arsenal said, and No. 1 goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale made his Europa League debut.
“Yesterday in training he had some discomfort in his groin. He tried this morning but he wasn't well, so Aaron had to play,” Gunners manager Mikel Arteta said. "We'll have to assess him. It didn't look a serious injury.”
Turner, 28, has played just four matches since transferring to the Gunners last summer from Major League Soccer's New England Revolution. Arsenal has one Europa League game remaining ahead of the World Cup, against Zurich on Nov. 3.

Turner was sidelined from Feb. 2 until April 30 after he played for the U.S. in a World Cup qualifier against Honduras in St. Paul, Minnesota, on a night where the kickoff temperature was 3 degrees (minus-16 Celsius).
Turner is one of four leading contenders for the three goalkeeper spots on the U.S. World Cup roster, which will be announced Nov. 9. The others are Middlesbrough's Zack Steffen, Luton's Ethan Horvath and New York City's Sean Johnson.
