Pulisic stressed his exit after 45 minutes of action was largely due to precaution.
“Took a bit of a kick,” Pulisic said following the game. “So I’m really hoping that it’s nothing, taking a little bit of precautions today, but I’m hoping I’ll be fine.”
Pulisic said the knock happened to his left leg. Prior to his substitution, the 27-year-old was sharp in the first half, with his silky dribble past two defenders ultimately setting up the U.S.’s opener – an own goal by Damián Bobadilla in the seventh minute.
More to come….
