World Cup: USA at 'Top Level' Despite Loss to Turkey; Pulisic Healthy
Pulisic returned after an injury and the United States advanced to the knockout round despite a 3-2 loss to Turkey, officials said.
- On Thursday, June 25, USMNT midfielder Christian Pulisic returned as a second-half substitute during the United States' 3-2 loss to Turkey at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
- Pulisic missed the Americans' previous match against Australia due to a calf injury he sustained during the tournament-opening 4-1 victory over Paraguay nearly two weeks ago.
- The 27-year-old AC Milan midfielder immediately contributed to several strong attacks after entering in the 58th minute; Turkey's Arda Güler nutmegged him late in the match, beginning the sequence that ended with the winning goal.
- Despite the 3-2 defeat, the United States had already secured the Group D title, allowing U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino to rest regular starters ahead of the July 1 knockout match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Pochettino stated he is "happy" with Pulisic's impact on the pitch, while the midfielder aims to be ready for the upcoming knockout-round match in San Francisco.
