Christian Pulisic injury throws US World Cup hopes into doubt

Christian Pulisic suffered a serious knee injury during a training session and will miss the upcoming World Cup matches for the United States. His absence forces coach Gregg Berhalter to reshuffle the attacking lineup, giving younger players and alternative wingers a chance to step up.

The US squad now faces a tighter goal‑scoring margin, while opponents eye the void left by the star forward. Recovery timelines remain uncertain, adding further doubt to the team’s campaign.
