The U.S. Soccer has only stated that he has an abdominal injury, and that he was taken to a hospital for further scans.

After scoring the game-winning goal in the 38th minute of Tuesday's match, he collided with Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand and went down for a while.

After a brief return to the game, he was taken out of the game at the beginning of the second half.

The U.S. Soccer did not respond to a request for further information.

It was necessary for the U.S. to get a win against Iran in order to stay alive in the tournament.

The US will play the Netherlands at 10 a.m. The time is Saturday.
