DeAndre Yedlin returns to Newcastle after 'surreal and embarrassing' defeat

The USA failed to qualify for next summer's World Cup after losing 2-1 to Trinidad and Tobago.

Bruce Arena's side had been on course to qualify for the tournament after a convincing 4-0 win over Panama last week.

But the defeat – and results elsewhere – saw the USMNT drop from third to fifth in CONCACAF’s hexagonal qualifying tournament.

Sports Illustrated labelled the loss as "the most surreal and embarrassing night in US soccer history".

Yedlin – who played the full 90 minutes against Trinidad and Tobago – will now return to Tyneside to prepare for Sunday's game against Southampton at the St Mary's Stadium.
