Exciting news for U.S.
Men's National Team (USMNT) fans: star forward Christian Pulisic has officially returned to full team training.
Pulisic, who suffered a calf injury in the World Cup opener against Paraguay on June 12, spent several days sidelined to ensure a safe recovery.
During the team's victory over Australia, he focused on individual gym work and light drills to build his strength back up.
As the USMNT looks toward the knockout rounds, Pulisic is feeling positive and is hopeful to feature in the final group match against Türkiye on June 25.
While he is unlikely to play a full 90 minutes, the coaching staff is prioritizing his long-term health.
Since the U.S. has already clinched the top spot in Group D, there is no need to rush, allowing Pulisic to safely regain his match fitness for the high-stakes games beginning in July.
