Christian Pulisic is diagnosed with a microfracture and bone bruise in his right leg following the United States’ 4-1 Round of 16 loss to Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Multiple reports say the injury involves the tibia and fibula. Pulisic sustains the problem during the match in the second half while attempting a shot and, as described in game accounts, he kicks the back of Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans’ leg. The injury diagnosis is reported as a microfracture with a bone bruise rather than a season-ending injury, and sources indicate Pulisic will miss several weeks. The Athletic reports that he will be sidelined for several weeks but not months, based on information provided by people briefed on the diagnosis. The injury comes as Pulisic’s World Cup campaign ends with the U.S. defeat in Seattle, where the team is eliminated from the tournament.
