7 Jul
Summary
- Christian Pulisic will start against Belgium, confirming his recovery.
- He previously suffered a left calf injury during a match.
- Pulisic expressed confidence in the team's ability to win against Belgium.
United States men's national team captain Christian Pulisic is set to take the field against Belgium today, despite recent injury concerns. The attacker had experienced stiffness during pre-tournament training for the 2026 World Cup. He later suffered a brutal left calf injury in the first match against Paraguay, leading to his substitution at halftime.
Pulisic's availability for subsequent matches was uncertain, as he missed the game against Australia and played only 33 minutes off the bench against Türkiye on June 25th. Fortunately, he recovered sufficiently to play against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ahead of the Belgium match, Pulisic expressed his readiness and confidence in the team's capabilities, stating they have players who can make a difference.
The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place today at Seattle Stadium. Pulisic acknowledged Belgium as a strong opponent but emphasized the USA's right to feel confident. He highlighted his experience in World Cup matches and affirmed the team's commitment to winning.
