US star Christian Pulisic fractured leg in World Cup loss to Belgium [View all]
U.S. star Christian Pulisic fractured his right leg during the Americans’ World Cup loss to Belgium and will be sidelined for several weeks.
Pulisic has a bone bruise and a microfracture of his tibia and fibula, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Thursday. The diagnosis was made after an X-ray and MRI on Tuesday.
He would not have been able to play during the remainder of the tournament had the U.S. advanced.
Pulisic is expected to resume training before AC Milan’s Serie A opener at Torino on Aug. 23.
Pulisic hit a leg of Belgium captain Youri Tielemans while attempting a shot in the 52nd minute of Monday’s 4-1 round-of-16 loss at Seattle. He remained in the game but was hobbling and Sebastian Berhalter replaced him in the 59th minute.
