US forward Christian Pulisic suffered a microfracture and bone bruise in his right leg during the United States’ defeat by Belgium in the World Cup round of 16, according to the country’s soccer federation.
Pulisic left the field in the second half of the Belgium game due to injury. His playing time earlier in the tournament was curtailed due to a separate calf problem.
US Soccer and Pulisic’s club AC Milan will collaborate on his recovery plan. The timeline for his recovery has not been provided, but The Athletic reported that the injury could take weeks to heal.
