Pochettino Hopes Pulisic Injury Not Serious

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino hopes Christian Pulisic’s ankle injury is not serious, anticipating the striker's return to AC Milan.

Pulisic left Monday's 4-1 World Cup loss to Belgium in the 59th minute after twisting his right ankle while shooting. Pochettino stated he hoped the injury was minor, allowing Pulisic to rejoin AC Milan.

The 24-year-old struggled through a calf issue earlier in the tournament but remains a key figure for the national team. 'He's going to bounce back,' said defender Alex Freeman. truewildgame.com
