'I didn't get hit in the balls!': USMNT star Christian Pulisic is doing 'everything in my power' to recover from brutal pelvic injury in time for Saturday's clash with the Netherlands

Any fears that the United States of America's main talisman would miss the Round of 16 tie with the Netherlands seem to be dwindling.

According to Fox Sports' Jenny Taft, star winger Christian Pulisic told her, 'I'll be good' to go for the match on Saturday. Pulisic later addressed the media and spoke about his injury for the first time since his goal against Iran and was a little bit more cautious.

The Chelsea man suffered a pelvic contusion while in the process of scoring the lone goal in the USMNT against Iran that sent them through to the knockout stages.
