The United States may have cruised to a 4-1 World Cup win over Paraguay, but concern remains over captain Christian Pulisic’s fitness. The US star was substituted at halftime after suffering a kick to his left calf.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino said Pulisic had difficulty walking after the first half, but both player and manager insisted the substitution was precautionary.
Pulisic remains optimistic and hopes to be fit for the USA’s next Group D clash against Australia. The 27-year-old was influential before his early exit, providing an assist in the hosts’ record-breaking victory.
