United States international forward Haji Wright has been ruled out for the remainder of the Concacaf Gold Cup with an Achilles injury, U.S. Soccer announced on Saturday.

In a statement, the USSF added that Wright "will return to Coventry City for further evaluation and treatment." Tournament rules stipulate that Wright can't be replaced on the U.S. roster.

"Always sad to see a player leave, because the group was very good, and he's a very good guy, and adds very good quality to the group, [a] different option," USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino told reporters at a news conference shortly after the announcement.

"He's a player that can play in different positions in the attack. Yes, sad situation, sad for him, sad for the team, but I think we need to prioritize his process to recovery."

Wright, 27, scored as a substitute in the USMNT's 5-0 tournament-opening win over Trinidad and Tobago, but he was held out of training in the run-up to the match against Saudi Arabia and was left off the game-day roster.

The injury is a tough blow for Wright, who was coming off a solid season with Coventry City in England's second-tier Championship, scoring 12 goals in 31 league and cup appearances.
