Back in full training
Pulisic (calf) is back in full team training, according to Laken Litman of Fox Sports.
Analysis: Pulisic is already on the road to recovery Monday as the USA prepares for the group stage finale, with the attacker joining full team training again. This is huge news for the team, as it appears they will have a key piece of their attack available heading into the knockouts. However, they are likely to closely monitor his health, not wanting to risk Captain America after one of their best starts in World Cup history. That said, a start in the group stage finale may still be tough to come by for the attacker.
Ruled out against Australia
Pulisic (calf) is out for the United States match against Australia, with Ricardo Pepi set to start, United States coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed to FOX Sports.
Analysis: Pulisic has not trained fully all week after injuring his left calf during the win over Paraguay, where he was substituted at half time of the 4-1 victory. The 27-year-old was limited to modified training sessions throughout the week and has now been confirmed out, a huge blow for the United States having been one of their best players in the opener before the injury forced him off. Ricardo Pepi starts in his place Friday against Australia.
