US national team star Christian Pulisic has returned to training for the first time since June 11, having recovered from a left calf injury.
The 27-year-old forward sustained the injury two days before the opening match against Paraguay (4-1) but played the entire first half. However, he had to be substituted at halftime as the injury caused him pain. Pulisic did not train fully with his teammates ahead of the clash against Australia (2-0) and remained on the bench.
The AC Milan winger is unlikely to feature in the final group stage match against Turkey, as the USA has already secured its spot in the knockout rounds.
In addition to Pulisic, midfielder Cristian Roldan is dealing with a muscle strain and might miss the upcoming fixture. Tyler Adams, who is carrying a yellow card, is also expected to be rested by head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Players accumulating two yellow cards after the final group stage match in the World Cup are suspended for the Round of 16.
