With an orthopedic device in Norwich City’s 4-1 victory over Stoke City on Saturday, Josh Sargent is taking up where he left him for the Canaries. Now with three consecutive seasons with 10 or more goals, Sargent is also taking a step forward at an important time for the United States male team with the Concacaf Nations League on the horizon.
Sargent now has 11 goals and five assists in the championship while pushing Norwich closer to playoff places while looking for the promotion. With a solid association with Borja Sainz, Sargent has been at its best now with a regular presence as the initial number 9 for the club. With growing confidence, the only border that Sargent has not conquered is to become the head of the USMNT. He was with the team during the friendlies of October, but played less than half an hour in the Copa América last summer.
“The numbers look good at this time, so I’m happy,” Sargent told CBS Sports Golazo Network after Saturday’s games.
“I think that when I entered this season, I had very high standards for me. I definitely wanted to be in the race for the top scorer. Unfortunately, you know, with another injury, I had a little reverse. Very happy with how I replied and, I just want to keep it in operation now. “
When Sargent has had the opportunity to intensify, he has had unfortunate injuries that have emerged, which makes him lose time with the national team since the 2022 World Cup. But now, as the calendar is about to move on to the march, Sergent He is the healthy striker, while other usual USMNT clients such as Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi are marginalized in injuries.
“Of course, I want to return with the boys and be with the national team any opportunity to be there,” Sargent said. “I want to take my opportunity to finally go with them and score some goals.
Things are configured for him to do exactly that in March. The way Sargent plays with Sainz is made to join Christian Pulisic For the USMNT, and under Mauricio Pochettino, the attack intention will be there. Sargent is not afraid to do a dirty defensive job to win teams and start rest.
If Sargent can break through, there is no reason why the initial advance for the USMNT in 2026 cannot be, so the bets are quite high. If you are not going to leave your mark now while it is fit for your club, you may never have a better opportunity to cause an impression in Pochettino. Time is now.
