IRENE, South Africa -- U.S. forward Jozy Altidore has sprained an ankle during a training drill and is day to day.

Altidore hurt his right ankle during a workout on a shortened field Wednesday, U.S. Soccer Federation spokesman Neil Buethe said. Altidore was taken to a hospital for X-rays and was diagnosed with a mild sprain.

"It's nothing more than that," Buethe said Thursday. "He'll undergo a fitness test tomorrow to determine whether he can play Saturday."

The U.S. faces Australia on Saturday in Roodepoort in the final exhibition for both teams ahead of the World Cup. The Americans open against England on June 12.

if he's fine, i'd like to see him play to build some chemistry up top... but if he's anything less than 100%, i'm with you newcastle.  let him rest.

With Ivory Coast's Drogba, Englands Fertinand, and Italy's Pirlo either all injured or out, the US has advantages--unless Altidore goes down.  :o Hope hes OK!

I dont see Jozy missing the England game for the world... he should be fine... And great showing against Australia today. Wish we cleared the ball a little better than we did however.
