USMNT: Why Christian Pulisic is right to pull out

Fans of the United States Men’s National Team were already worried going into this upcoming international break, and now, things have only gotten worse for the program following the major news that broke on Monday afternoon.

Speaking to the press before practice, USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter confirmed that Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic has been pulled out of camp with a hip injury and will miss the upcoming games versus Canada and Cuba as a result.

“This was a collaborative decision with the club, looking after the best interest of the player. These decisions are always difficult because this group and the coaching staff want nothing more than to have Christian here, but it was a risk we weren’t willing to take at this time.
