Christian Pulisic

Analysis: Pulisic is still in limited training Tuesday as he recovers from a calf knock. The winger is hoping to be back in the starting XI when the United States takes on Australia on Friday. Pulisic was a huge part of the team that dismantled Paraguay in the opening match, and is expected to be back fit for the second match, in some capacity.

Trains to side, expected to be fit

Pulisic trained to the side Monday following a knock he received against Paraguay, but is still expected to make their match against Australia on Friday, according to Ben Jacobs of TalkSPORT Live.

Analysis: Pulisic is only an option for training on the side Monday, but is still seeing some positive news, as the attacker is still likely to make the second match of the group stage. The likely plan is to have him boost his training as the week goes on, not putting too much pressure on him to be training with teammates now. Either way, this will bring confidence to the team after their opening game win, as Pulisic played a major part before his exit from the field.
