Pulisic returns to training as USMNT cruise into Turkiye finale

Pulisic back in training, eyes Turkiye finale

Christian Pulisic is back. He trained with the full squad Monday after missing the 2–0 win over Australia with a calf issue (2). You face Turkiye to close out the group, and getting your captain on the pitch is the only thing that matters right now. The group is already in hand after steamrolling Paraguay and Australia, so this is about rhythm, not rescue.

The World Cup win nobody saw coming

Your team beat Australia 2–0 without Pulisic (1) (2). Balogun scored both. That is a statement. Two games, two clean-sheet wins, top of the group, and the knockout rounds already waiting. Home soil is delivering exactly what you hoped.

Zendejas waits, and he is ready

Alex Zendejas still has not seen a minute at this World Cup. He knows the Turkiye match is the obvious window. "I'm sure it'll come," he said (1). With the group wrapped up, a debut feels inevitable.
