Christian Pulisic is injured following the United States’ World Cup round-of-16 defeat to Belgium and is expected to miss several weeks. Multiple outlets report that the injury involves Pulisic’s right leg, with diagnoses described as a fracture and, in more detailed accounts, a microfracture. The Athletic says he suffered a leg microfracture and will be sidelined for several weeks but not months, citing people briefed on the diagnosis. Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports similarly state he will miss several weeks and describe the injury as a right-leg fracture, with one report specifying a bone bruise and microfracture and another referencing microfracture of the tibia/fibula. The Independent and other accounts say Pulisic was taken off in the second half against Belgium. Yahoo Sports also reports the injury occurred in the 52nd minute when Pulisic hit the leg of Belgium captain Youri Tielemans while attempting a shot. Overall reporting agrees on the injury location and timeline: Pulisic is out for the near term after sustaining damage to the right leg during Monday’s match.
