USA coach Gregg Berhalter has thrown his support behind star man Christian Pulisic as he struggles to hold down a regular place in the starting line-up.
Pulisic has, at times, been used as a wing-back in Chelsea's setup this season and it has been a disjointed start to the season for the London team, who sacked manager Thomas Tuchel and replaced him with Graham Potter.
The 24-year-old has played 13 times for Chelsea this season, scoring once, and there are concerns for the USMNT that Pulisic's lack of regular playing time could hinder him at the World Cup next month.
