DOHA, Qatar — Christian Pulisic said Thursday that he is 'feeling better' after suffering a 'pelvic contusion' in the the U.S. men's national team's Tuesday win over Iran, but did not commit to playing in Saturday's knockout-round game against the Netherlands.
with a boyish, overjoyed smile. He filmed their arrival on his phone, and embraced Tim Weah and DeAndre Yedlin, among others.
Players said postgame that Pulisic was feeling “OK” and, naturally, was in “good spirits.” The following day, a source told Yahoo Sports that Pulisic was feeling significantly better, but his status remained “day-to-day” and uncertain for Saturday."I know he'll do anything to play in the next game," U.S. captain Tyler Adams said.
A USMNT spokesman also said that Josh Sargent, who left Tuesday’s game in the second half with an ankle injury, was “day to day.”If Pulisic can’t, Brenden Aaronson would be the most analogous replacement on the left wing. Aaronson has started in the past when Pulisic hasn’t been fit — including against Mexico last November in World Cup qualifying — and replaced Pulisic at halftime of Tuesday’s game.
Pulisic and Sargent will likely remain “day to day” until lineups are announced within 90 minutes of kickoff on Saturday. U.S. Soccer has no incentive to give the Netherlands a jumpstart on preparing as if either player will or won’t start.
