Pulisic Returns: USMNT Star Ready for Bosnia Clash
2 Jul
Summary
- Christian Pulisic will start against Bosnia after recovering from a calf injury.
- This marks his first start since the World Cup opener on June 12.
- Pulisic is the USMNT's active scoring leader with 33 international goals.
Christian Pulisic is slated to start for the United States men's national soccer team (USMNT) in their round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a significant return for the star player, who had been sidelined with a calf injury since the national team's World Cup opener on June 12.
Pulisic's last start was in the victory over Paraguay, where he sustained his injury. He made a brief return as a reserve in the match against Turkey, playing 33 minutes and feeling positive about his condition. He expressed confidence, stating he is "definitely ready to go."
As the USMNT's active scoring leader with 33 international goals and 21 assists in 88 matches, Pulisic's presence is crucial. The United States advanced to this stage after winning their first two World Cup matches before a loss to Turkey. They now face Bosnia and Herzegovina, who advanced as a third-place team.
The winner of this match will proceed to face Belgium in the round of 16 on July 6. The US lineup also includes the return of four players who were previously one yellow card away from suspension: Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards, and Antonee Robinson.
