Pulisic’s status had been speculated throughout the week following his early substitution last Friday. Pochettino revealed following the match that the 27-year-old had reaggravated an injury that he suffered in training prior to the Americans’ opener.
“Hopefully, it’s not a big issue…hopefully, the next game he will be available,” the manager said at that time.
Pulisic also mentioned that he hoped the calf issue wouldn’t be a significant issue moving forward.
“So I’m really hoping that it’s nothing, taking a little bit of precautions today, but I’m hoping I’ll be fine,” he said.
Pulisic has dealt with various ailments throughout his club campaign as well, playing just 1609 minutes – the lowest since he joined AC Milan.
