Christian Pulisic Returns to Full USMNT Training for First Time in 10 Days

Christian Pulisic took part in a full U.S. men's national team training session on Monday for the first time in 10 days. The midfielder did not wear a sleeve on his left calf and used soccer cleats during the session in Irvine, California.

Pulisic aggravated the injury after being kicked in the left calf during the first half of the June 12 match against Paraguay. He exited at halftime of the 4-1 victory and did not play in the June 19 match against Australia, which the USMNT won 2-0. Coach Mauricio Pochettino said on June 19 that he was optimistic Pulisic would be ready for the team's next game.

Pulisic joined teammates for warm-up jogs, lining up between Antonee Robinson and Chris Richards, and participated in a 7-on-2 rondo drill. The USMNT faces Turkey on Thursday at 10 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The team has already clinched a spot in the Round of 32, while Turkey is eliminated from the tournament. The USMNT's Round of 32 match is scheduled for July 1. Cristian Roldan is day-to-day with a muscle sprain and has not played in the World Cup, U.S.

Soccer said. The USMNT began group stage play on June 11 and is ranked No. 16 in the FIFA World Rankings.
