Christian Pulisic Feels 'Great,' Hopes to Play for US in Final World Cup Group Game vs Turkey
Pulisic said he feels good after a calf injury and hopes to play Thursday as the United States has already clinched the knockout stage.
- Ahead of Thursday's final World Cup group match against Turkey, Christian Pulisic confirmed he feels "great" and hopes to participate after missing one match with a calf injury.
- Pulisic sustained the injury during training before the 4-1 opening victory over Paraguay, then felt discomfort at halftime during that match, forcing him to miss Friday's 2-0 win over Australia.
- During Wednesday's training at Great Park, Pulisic moved freely without limitations and wore no protection on his calf. Starting central defender Chris Richards noted the team remains confident heading into the match.
- With the United States already qualified for the knockout rounds, head coach Mauricio Pochettino has not revealed his starting lineup for Thursday's match, which carries no advancement stakes for either team.
- Looking toward the Round-of-32 match on July 1 in Santa Clara, California, the squad prioritizes staying healthy and sharp for the tournament's next phase, though the team has never won a World Cup.
