The United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) is preparing for its World Cup match against Australia, but there are concerns about the status of star forward Christian Pulisic. Pulisic was replaced at halftime in the team’s previous match against Paraguay after he was kicked in the left calf, reaggravating a training injury he picked up in the days before the World Cup.

Pulisic’s Injury Update

Following the match, Pulisic downplayed the injury, saying he was taking a little bit of precaution but hoping to be fine in the next few days. Teammate Tyler Adams and manager Mauricio Pochettino have also offered positive updates, with Adams saying Pulisic will be ready and Pochettino describing the team’s status as ‘good’.

On Tuesday, Tim Weah offered an update, saying Pulisic looks normal and is fit, working with trainers on the side. Officially, Pulisic is listed as ‘day-to-day’ ahead of the match against Australia on Friday.
