The USMNT returned to training Monday at Orange County’s Great Park ahead of Friday’s second Group D game against Australia.
The USMNT, which opened the World Cup Friday with a 4-1 win over Paraguay at the Los Angeles Stadium, will travel to Seattle to face Australia Friday at noon.
With a win, the USMNT could clinch a spot into the Round of 32. Australia won its opener, Saturday 2-0 against Turkiye.
Christian Pulisic, who was subbed off at halftime Friday, didn’t train with the team Monday. According to reporters, the midfielder was doing individual work.
“Everyone, let’s relax,” midfielder Tyler Adams said during Monday’s media availability. “I think he picked up a knock a few days before the game and got kicked in the same spot again during the game. When you go into halftime, things obviously get tight, but he’ll be fine.”
Mauricio Pochettino said after Friday’s game that Pulisic had “picked up a knock” in training, forcing him to be replaced.
After the game Pulisic said he “got a bit of a kick in the first half, so I’m really hoping that it’s nothing. Taking a little bit of precaution, but I’m hoping I’ll be fine the next few days.”
The U.S. will head to Seattle after training on Wednesday.
