FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — American midfielder Brenden Aaronson had a good excuse to miss the US World Cup team’s training session Friday — he was getting married.

The Leeds midfielder was marrying longtime girlfriend Milana D’Ambra, a daughter of Saint Joseph’s men’s football coach Don D’Ambra.

Aaronson, also a member of the 2022 US World Cup squad, left camp after Thursday’s session and was due back in time for training Saturday.
