In training with the United States national team, Sunderland striker Jozy Altidore hinted to "NESN.com" he would look elsewhere if his situation with Sunderland doesn't improve: “I thought I’ve done everything I could this season to come in as fit as possible with the injury and try to make an impact when I’ve played.

But like I said these four years, I want to be part of the national team. Jurgen makes his message very clear, nobody is different, so if it doesn’t turn around then in January I’ll be looking to start elsewhere and make sure that I’m in his plans going forward.”
