Christian Pulisic is officially good to go for the USMNT
Former USWNT player Joanna Lohman breaks down how the USMNT advanced to the knockout stage and what to expect in their matchup against the Netherlands.DOHA, Qatar – Christian Pulisic will be with the U.S. men when they take on the Netherlands in the round of 16.
Pulisic was cleared to play Friday night, after he’d gone through training. Earlier in the day, USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter said it “looks pretty good” for the U.S. star to play but that he wanted to see him in training before making a final determination. Pulisic showed no apparent signs of injury during the portion of training that was open to media, running and doing the same work as his teammates. Players dealing with injury often work to the side or do warmups on the bike.
“I think with Christian, we’re hopeful,” Berhalter said. “At this stage, it’s go time. If you can push through it, you do.” Pulisic came off at halftime against Iran with a pelvic contusion. He’d taken a knee to his pelvic bone in a full-speed collision with Iran’s goalkeeper after scoring in the 1-0 win that sent the USMNT into the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
