Pulisic has a bone bruise and a microfracture of his tibia and fibula, the person said.
Furthermore, The former Arsenal striker was due to serve a one-match ban, but following an intervention from US president Donald Trump, his ban was suspended, meaning he was available to play in the last-16 against Belgium. Balogun’s controversial inclusion in USA’s team to face Belgium failed to inspire the World Cup co-hosts as they slipped to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of their European opponents.

In addition, Pulisic failed to score in the World Cup, missing one of the Americans’ five matches because of a calf injury and leaving two other games early.
