US National Team Captain Continues Individual Training, Faces Risk of Missing Match Against Australia
Winger Christian Pulisic has been training separately from the US national team for the fourth day in a row due to a calf muscle injury. His participation in Friday’s World Cup match against Australia in Seattle remains highly doubtful. The Milan forward sustained the injury before the opening game against Paraguay, in which he provided an assist but was substituted at halftime.
His teammates are hoping for the leader’s return, and midfielder Cristian Roldan noted the team’s extraordinary determination ahead of the crucial home tournament match: “It fires me up that the whole world, the entire nation, is behind us. We need to build on this success, and that’s the truth. We can’t just talk about it; we have to show ourselves in the match against Australia.”
