christian pulisic injury update -Star forward Christian Pulisic of the United States men’s national team departed the Americans’ crucial World Cup match against Iran at halftime after suffering an abdominal injury while scoring late in the first half. He was taken to a hospital for more testing.
After bundling Sergino Dest’s errant header into the net to give the Americans a 1-0 lead in the 38th minute, the USA’s talisman was hurt. For Gregg Berhalter’s team to advance to the Round of 16, victory is necessary.
As he caught Dest’s flick, the Hershey, Pennsylvania, native looked to clash with Iran goalie Alireza Beiranvand. He quickly fell to the ground, gripping his stomach as he laid flat on the ground. He remained unconscious and required extensive care from the American medical team.
He appeared to be having trouble merely standing, and after being brought to his feet, he needed aid moving. He was helped off the field by the USA training staff, but he chose to keep playing.
After returning to the field, Pulisic struggled for the first few minutes. However, the longer the stoppage lasted, the more energised he appeared to be.Near the end of the half, he even made a brisk sprint in an effort to connect with Tim Weah and Josh Sargent.

Given the nature of the action, it makes sense that Pulisic was substituted when he was forced out of the game by U.S. Soccer due to an abdominal injury. Beiranvand appeared to knee Pulisic in the stomach directly.
Berhalter had no postgame updates to share right away. But according to a U.S. Soccer representative, he was brought to a nearby hospital for scans.
Pulisic was listed as day-to-day with a “pelvis contusion” by U.S. Soccer a few hours later. He had already been released from the hospital and was back at the team hotel by the time the rest of the team arrived.
