- Pulisic was seen doing light ball work during training but did not participate fully, indicating cautious rehabilitation ahead of the Friday game at Lumen Field.
- Teammates and coaches express hope for his return but emphasize the depth of the squad and readiness of other players to step in if needed.
- The U.S. benefits from a longer rest period between matches in this World Cup format, allowing more recovery time compared to the 2022 tournament.
