Christian Pulisic Injury: Uncertain to play for USMNT

Pulisic is dealing with an undisclosed injury and didn't train Thursday, so he might not play against Ecuador on Friday, manager Mauricio Pochettino told Paul Tenorio of The Athletic. "I need to communicate that we have some issues in some players, like Christian [Pulisic], who didn't train today," Pochettino said.

Pulisic has been playing at a high level for AC Milan this season and was named the Serie A Player of the Month for September. However, it's uncertain if he'll see time with the USMNT in this upcoming international window. Pulisic has four goals and two assists in six Serie A appearances in 2025/26.
