The United States will start Christian Pulisic in its World Cup round-of-32 match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on July 1 in Santa Clara, California. The AC Milan forward recovered from the left-calf injury he aggravated during the June 12 opener against Paraguay.
Pulisic sat out the group-stage match against Australia and entered as a substitute in the 58th minute against Türkiye on June 25, playing 32 minutes.
He told reporters on June 30 that he felt ready after that appearance. "I felt great in the game, the last game against Türkiye," Pulisic said. " Coach Mauricio Pochettino named an unchanged starting lineup from the 4-1 win over Paraguay.
Midfielder Tyler Adams, forward Folarin Balogun, center back Chris Richards and left back Antonee Robinson all returned after being rested against Türkiye. Defender Mark McKenzie and midfielder Cristian Roldan remained unavailable with foot and quad injuries. Pulisic has scored 33 goals in 88 international appearances.
The United States seeks its second World Cup knockout-stage victory and its first since 2002. The winner faces Belgium in the round of 16 on July 6 in Seattle.
