The U.S. men’s national soccer team is preparing to face Australia on Friday, but the status of star player Christian Pulisic remains uncertain due to a calf injury.
Pulisic’s Injury Status
USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino stated that Pulisic is ‘evolving’ and ‘much better’ than he was on Friday, but his availability for the match against Australia is still unclear.
Pochettino added that Pulisic is ‘doing a massive effort trying to be ready’ and will meet with the training staff on Thursday night to discuss his status.
Fellow star Weston McKennie expressed support for Pulisic, saying that the team is trying to give him ‘good spirits’ and hoping he can play against Australia.
The match against Australia will determine who takes sole possession of first place in Group D, making Pulisic’s participation crucial for the USMNT’s chances of winning.
