Injury puts Gold Cup in doubt for Feilhaber

?

Four years ago, Benny Feilhaber was one of the main players responsible for helping the U.S. men's national team win the Gold Cup and secure passage to the Confederations Cup. It looks like he won't get a chance to repeat that this summer.

Feilhaber is likely to be out of action for at least a couple of weeks after suffering an ankle injury in New England's 1-0 loss to Los Angeles last Saturday, according to Revolution head coach Steve Nicol. If that timetable is correct, Feilhaber is doubtful to participate in the Gold Cup, which begins on June 7 for the Americans.

U.S. head coach Bob Bradley has yet to replace Feilhaber on the Gold Cup roster, but he has called in Alejandro Bedoya as a potential replacement should Feilhaber be out for a significant period of time. Bradley has until 24 hours before his team's first group match to replace Feilhaber if necessary.

What do you think of this development? Do you see the U.S. team sorely missing Feilhaber? Think Sacha Kljestan, Bedoya and/or Freddy Adu can pick up the creative slack?
