WORLD CUP | Pulisic says he feels good after calf injury, hopes to play vs Türkiye

Christian Pulisic said Wednesday he is feeling good after missing 1½ World Cup matches with a calf injury and hopes to play a role Thursday when the United States faces last-place Türkiye in its final Group D match at SoFi Stadium, according to Yahoo Sports. The U.S. has already clinched first place and a Round-of-32 match July 1 in Santa Clara, California, and Pulisic said he will discuss possible minutes restrictions with the coaching and medical staff. He aggravated a left calf injury in a 4-1 win over Paraguay on June 12 and was scratched for the 2-0 win over Australia last Friday in Seattle; coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to address Pulisic’s status later Thursday.
