Christian Pulisic gives another injury update as USA star faces late Netherlands fitness test

Christian Pulisic has stated that he will do everything he can to be fit for the USA's last 16 clash with the Netherlands on Saturday.

The Chelsea star was hurt as he scored the only goal of the game against Iran in the 37th minute, bravely converting Sergino Dest's header. He was down for around five minutes before eventually being helped off the field by two medics.

The 24-year-old made it back on and played the remaining minutes of the first half but didn't come back out for the second half - being replaced by Brendan Aaronson. He was then taken to a nearby hospital for checks as his team held on to qualify for the next round of the competition.
