Christian Pulisic Out of USMNT Nations League Squad with Hip Injury

Christian Pulisic will miss the United States' remaining CONCACAF Nations League matches against Canada and the Cayman Islands because of a hip injury.

The Chelsea player suffered the injury during his club's 2-0 Premier League win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, and the USA were initially waiting to see if the forward would recover.

However, U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter confirmed on Monday the player will not be risked:

"...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.
