Forward Jozy Altidore is hurt again and will miss the United States' Nations League games against Cuba and Canada.

Altidore, who turns 30 next month, left Toronto FC's regular-season finale on Sunday with what coach Greg Vanney said was a sore quad.

Altidore was taken down by a Columbus Crew SC opponent just outside the penalty box at BMO Field in Toronto and exited gingerly in the 70th minute.

U.S. Soccer did not detail Altidore's injury. A Toronto FC spokesman said the MLS club would have an update Wednesday.

Toronto hosts D.C. United on Oct. 19 in a first-round playoff game.

Alejandro Pozuelo's free kick tally is enough to earn Toronto FC home field advantage in their first round playoff match against D.C. United.
Altidore was limited to 13 regular-season Major League Soccer matches in 2018 and 21 this year because of injuries. He ranked second to Alejandro Pozuelo in Toronto scoring with 11 goals this season.

The Americans play Cuba on Friday at Washington, D.C., and Canada on Oct. 15. They host Canada on Nov. 15 at Orlando, Fla., and play Cuba four days later at George Town, Cayman Islands.

Canada is 2-0-0 in CONCACAF Nations League A play after beating Cuba 6-0 and 1-0.
