USMNT hero Christian Pulisic has given fans a major boost ahead of their World Cup last 16 clash against the Netherlands, after going off injured at half-time against Iran.
Pulisic scored the only goal of the game against Iran as the USA won 1-0, which was all they needed as they qualified for the next stage of the competition as runners-up of Group B. But in scoring the goal after 38 minutes, Pulisic was bundled into the Iran goal, and couldn't even celebrate as he was in too much pain.
The Chelsea star was taken off at half-time and went straight to hospital for tests, while his team-mates defended their lead and secured a date with the Netherlands on Saturday. But despite concerns over his injury, Pulisic has assured fans that he'll be playing in their knockout tie.
