The 24-year-old Boavista defender played the second half of Friday's 2-0 loss against Japan in Düsseldorf, Germany. Sergino Dest started for the U.S., who also had right-backs Joe Scally and DeAndre Yedlin on the bench.
Cannon has scored one goal in 28 international appearances and was part of the U.S. teams that won the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup and Nations League.
The U.S. are also missing Timothy Weah, Yunus Musah, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Zack Steffen, Cristian Roldan and Cameron Carter-Vickers because of injuries. Coach Gregg Berhalter said Friday it was unclear whether Chelsea's Christian Pulisic will recover from an unspecified injury in time to face Saudi Arabia in Murcia, Spain.
