The United States men’s national soccer team may have to take the field against Australia in their upcoming World Cup match without one of their most important offensive weapons.
Left winger Christian Pulisic played a central role in the Americans’ strong and effective attack during their opening match last week, a convincing 4-1 win over Paraguay. However, Pulisic suffered a kick to the calf during that game and departed at halftime.
Since leaving that match, Pulisic has not returned to practice with the rest of the squad, raising serious questions about whether he will be available when the U.S. faces Australia on Friday.
