Allnutt in New Role for U.S.

University City’s Yari Allnutt will be moved from right midfield to the left midfield position by the U.S. Olympic soccer team after Chris Henderson suffered a sprained ligament in his right knee during practice Thursday in Canet, France.

Henderson will be sidelined for seven to 10 days, missing the U.S.’s July 24 Olympic opener against Italy, and Allnutt will take his position, Coach Lothar Osiander said.
