US soccer star Christian Pulisic reportedly suffered microfracture in leg, speaks out on social media

Dan Dakich reacts to the USMNT's embarrassing World Cup Round of 16 loss to Belgium after Christian Pulisic and the squad completely COLLAPSED.

U.S. soccer star Christian Pulisic reportedly sustained a microfracture in his leg during the team's 4-1 loss to Belgium on Monday in Seattle.

Pulisic suffered a bone bruise and a microfracture in his leg in the loss and will be sidelined for several weeks, but not months, according to The Athletic's report on Thursday. He appeared to sustain the injury when he attempted a shot in the 52nd minute but hit a Belgian defender's calf instead of the ball.

Pulisic, 27, has been widely criticized for his postgame comments after the team's loss in the Round of 16 about his injury after he said he now has time to "rest" following the injury, which drew the ire of many.

"Tough to find the words. I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who believed. The support carried us all the way through. It simply wasn’t good enough from us in the end and I wanted to deliver so much more," Pulisic captioned his post.

"I still feel blessed to be a part of this team. The memories this summer will last a lifetime. It’s just the start for us and for this sport in America," he wrote with an American flag emoji.
