Christian Pulisic Injury Update Latest – Likely To Miss Australia Clash
Pulisic was inspirational in the USMNT’s opening game against Paraguay last week but was forced off at half-time due to a injury.
It was revealed that his left calf was injured against Paraguay and he was substituted as a precaution.
However, it now looks like the former Chelsea forward is facing a race against time to start vs Australia in Seattle.
Mauricio Pochettino was speaking to the press ahead of the game.
“He’s evolving and much better than (last) Friday. We’ll see. At the moment, if he’s not available, he will be available for the next game. But I think he’s doing a massive effort trying to be ready.“
With Pulisic now doubtful for the game, check out the Gio Reyna prop picks as the Borussia Monchengladbach forward is likely to start in place.
Pulisic played a pivotal role in the 45 minutes that he lasted against Paraguay, providing an assist to Folarin Balogun and also forcing an own goal from Damian Bobadilla.
