The American contingent in this season’s EFL Cup competition is down to only two.

Chris Richards and Antonee Robinson are the remaining U.S. men’s national team players left as the annual competition completed the Round of 16 phase on Wednesday. Richards and Robinson were not part of the midweek action, but their respective clubs booked their places into the final eight.

Richards was not in the Crystal Palace squad due to a calf injury as the Eagles defeated reigning English Premier League champions Liverpool 3-0 away from home. A first-half brace from Ismaila Sarr paired with a late insurance goal from Yeremi Pino helped Oliver Glasner’s men claim a third-straight victory over the Reds in all competitions.

Robinson remained absent for Fulham, who outlasted League One Wycombe Wanderers 5-4 on penalty kicks on Tuesday night. The two clubs played out a 1-1 scoreline through 90 minutes before seven rounds were needed to find a winner.

The USMNT left back has been out of action since September 28 due to a knee injury. Robinson underwent knee surgery at the end of last season and has been reduced to only four appearances during this campaign.

The American defenders will both aim to be back in their squads well before the quarterfinal round this December. Richards and Crystal Palace visit London rivals Arsenal while Robinson and Fulham travel to Newcastle United in another All-Premier League affair.

Manchester City will host Brentford in quarterfinal action as well while Chelsea visits League One side Cardiff City.

All quarterfinal ties will take place during the week of December 15.
