Sort of a weird situation that developed Saturday with U.S. teenage striker Jozy Altidore at his Premier League club team Hull City. Altidore wasn’t in the lineup, nor was he even on the bench for the Tigers 0-0 draw with last-place Portsmouth.
Apparently Altidore was late to the KC Stadium and posted an apology on his Twitter page. What’s weird, is on his actual page, the apology is no longer posted and the most recent tweet is encouraging Hull fans to make a lot of noise at the game.
All things considered, it’s hard to read all that much into the situation. Altidore wouldn’t be the first player in the history of professional soccer to be late for a match. It was a little distressing that the 19-year-old, who is fighting for a place in the starting XI, would risk being late and nullify any chance of seeing the field.
