U.S. forward Christian Pulisic suffered a microfracture and bone bruise in his right leg during the United States’ defeat by Belgium in the World Cup round of 16, the country’s soccer federation said on Thursday.
• U.S. Soccer and Pulisic’s club AC Milan will collaborate on his recovery plan, U.S. Soccer said. The Serie A side did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
• U.S. Soccer did not provide a timeline for his recovery. The Athletic reported that the injury could take weeks to heal.
• Pulisic left the field in the second half of the Belgium game due to injury. His playing time earlier in the tournament was curtailed due to a separate calf problem.
