Christian Pulisic trains separately for 4th straight day and could miss next US World Cup game

Christian Pulisic trained apart from his U.S. teammates on Thursday for the fourth straight day because of his left calf injury, further raising concerns about his availability to face Australia on Friday in Seattle in the Americans' second World Cup game. Pulisic started last week’s 4-1 victory over Paraguay, but came off at halftime after feeling stiffness from a calf injury incurred in training. The Milan winger joined his U.S. teammates for a pre-warmup huddle while wearing a compression sleeve on his calf, then went inside to do individual work in the gym. Ahead of Thursday’s training session, midfielder Weston McKennie said he did not know much about Pulisic’s recovery, but that he hopes he will be able to play.
