Robinson Still Not at Full Strength as He Returns to US Team
Robinson returns after surgery and 11 months off, aiming to regain form amid strong competition for his position, having started 35 Premier League games last season.
- After nearly a year away, 28-year-old left back Antonee Robinson has rejoined the U.S. national team ahead of Tuesday’s game against Australia in Commerce City, Colorado.
- Robinson injured his right knee last October during U.S. friendlies against Panama and Mexico, and ultimately underwent surgery on May 27, shortly after Fulham completed their Premier League season.
- Due to the injury and ensuing recovery difficulties, he has primarily featured as a substitute for Fulham, making just three appearances off the bench in the opening stretch of this season, after being a regular starter in 35 out of 38 matches last year.

- Because Ryan Sessegnon has excelled at left back for Fulham, Robinson faces increased competition for club minutes while seeking to regain his pre-injury form.
