Pulisic was taken to hospital as a precaution following the incident that led to his injury but was back at the US team hotel to greet his team-mates following the Group B win on Tuesday. In a photo posted on social media on Tuesday, Pulisic said he expected to play against the Netherlands on Saturday, when the Americans will attempt to reach the quarter-finals. “I’ll be ready for Saturday, don’t worry,” a jubilant Pulisic wrote.

US midfielder Weston McKennie said on Tuesday that Pulisic had indicated he would be fit to start against the Dutch. “I sent him a text and checked on him, and he said, ‘Best believe I’ll be ready’,” said McKennie.
