Summary
Christian Pulisic’s calf injury sidelines him for the World Cup clash against Australia, a major blow for the U.S. team who needed him to secure their knockout round spot. The star forward, known for 33 goals in 87 caps and clutch performances, was forced out during training after taking a kick to his left calf. Ricardo Pepi steps in as the lone change, showcasing how reliant the squad is on their core. Despite Pulisic’s solo training efforts, it wasn’t enough — now the team must rally around Pepi and adapt under pressure without their talisman.
