Huge Scare Overseas! USA Captain and Star Still Not Training with Team Due to Injury

The 27-year-old AC Milan winger played the first half of the victorious match against Paraguay (4:1), after which he was substituted due to calf stiffness. While he underwent individual ball drills with physiotherapists on Wednesday, he has not yet rejoined full team training.

“We hope he’ll be ready for the game. We know he’ll do everything to get back with the team,” his teammate Brenden Aaronson told AP.

Pulisic is a key player for the American squad and registered an assist in their opening fixture. Coach Mauricio Pochettino has several alternatives available, including Aaronson and Tim Weah, but teammates are confident that the team's biggest star will be prepared for Friday's match in Seattle.
