Rome: The US national team has announced that Christian Pulisic, their key playmaker, sustained a fractured right leg and bruising during the 1-4 defeat to Belgium in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. The injury is expected to sideline him for several weeks.
According to Thai News Agency, there will be a collaborative effort between the US national team and AC Milan, Pulisic's current club, to manage the 27-year-old's recovery. It is yet to be determined if Pulisic will be fit to participate in AC Milan's opening Serie A match on August 23.
While the US national team has not specified an exact timeline for Pulisic's recovery, it is anticipated that he will require several weeks of treatment. The injury is not expected to extend his absence for months.
