Plays 45 minutes in victory
Robinson (undisclosed) played 45 minutes in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Senegal, confirming his recovery from the knock that forced him off at halftime of FC Cincinnati's draw against San Diego, the USMNT posted.
Analysis: Robinson had been withdrawn as a precaution in that MLS fixture, but his extended run-out against Senegal is a clean bill of health heading into the World Cup. The center-back is expected to be an important defensive figure for the USMNT on home soil, and coach Mauricio Pochettino will be relieved to have him fit and building match sharpness ahead of what promises to be a highly competitive tournament for the hosts.
On bench to face Charlotte
Robinson (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Charlotte.
Analysis: Robinson will be available if required as a substitute following his return to training earlier this week. The central man had previously started in each of his six matches played this year, recording 24 clearances and earning one clean sheet over that span. He's a strong candidate to take a spot in the back line from either Andrei Chirila or Nick Hagglund at some point.
