Yunus Musah's absence from USMNT camp has been called 'a shame' by teammate Brenden Aaronson, as the midfielder was forced to pull out of the team's friendlies vs. Japan and Saudi Arabia due to a left groin issue.
Musah is a projected starter for this fall's World Cup and has played a key role for Valencia to begin the La Liga season, but the Stars and Stripes will be without him for their September tune-ups as he recovers from a knock.
'It's a shame that he couldn't get into camp, I know all of us miss him,' midfielder Aaronson told reporters Monday.

'He's a great character to have around the team and it's tough not having him here.'
The 19-year-old, who plays in the center for the USMNT, had been used frequently on the right wing over the past two seasons for the Spanish club, and was a more peripheral figure with just 13 league starts last season.
