Christian Pulisic scored a goal and assisted four more while Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi both scored two of their own. Brenden Aaronson and Alejandro Zendejas also got on the scoresheet in what was a solid first game for interim head coach Anthony Hudson.

“A performance and a result like this can be — you don’t want to get carried away,” Hudson commented after the game. “The importance for us is just to make sure that we do all the right things between now and the next game and we finish the job off. But the actual performance, I thought it was the result of just a really, really good week.”

The Chelsea midfielder suffered a pelvic contusion as he scored the winner in a 1-0 victory that sealed the United States’ spot in the World Cup knockouts. While he was able to see out the first half, Pulsiic eventually had to be substituted at half time.

“We’re gonna see him on the training field today,” Berhalter confirmed during a press conference on Friday. “What I think is, it looks pretty good, but we’ll have to see him today on the pitch to get confirmation of that.”

Although Berhalter appeared optimistic about Pulisic’s hopes of returning to the field, he seemed less confident about forward Josh Sargent, who was substituted in the 77th minute of the Iran game due to injury. The player is currently suffering from left ankle soreness, with Berhalter adding that he is less likely than Pulisic to appear in the game against the Netherlands.

Pulisic incurred a pelvic injury during the United States’ 1-0 victory over Iran in their final Group B clash when he collided with Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand after scoring a header shortly before the half-time whistle.

While Pulisic received on-field medical attention from his team’s medical staff following the incident, he was ultimately able to get up and finish off the first half with his team. Brenden Aaronson came on for Pulisic at the start of the second half, with the latter being transported to the hospital for further evaluation. He was later diagnosed with a pelvic contusion.

“We got to speak to him and he’s in good spirits,” coach Gregg Berhalter revealed during a news conference after the game. “That’s what he does, that’s the special quality he has and as soon as a goal is wide he goes in with intensity.”

The win over Iran is the United States’ first World Cup victory since the 2014 tournament, which was also the last time they progressed to the Round of 16.

With Chelsea willing to allow Pulisic to leave during the January transfer window, a deal of this nature remains a possibility. Although Man Utd initially did not plan to make any major transfers in January, the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from the club has created a sense of urgency for the club to reinforce its squad.

According to several sources, Pulisic’s versatility as both a midfielder and an attack has made him an appealing option for the Red Devils, who are looking to fill several voids left behind by Ronaldo and other players such as Martial who are missing through injury.

The 24-year-old player has proven himself to be a key player for the United States both before and during the ongoing World Cup, having played every minute of the tournament in Qatar.

Prior to joining Chelsea in 2019, Pulisic was a transfer target of both Manchester United and bitter rivals Liverpool. Ultimately, it was the Blues that landed his signature.

This was also the first goal for Pulisic in 2022-23 in 10 matches in all competitions. The 24-year-old was sparsely used by former head coach Thomas Tuchel, but Potter appears eager to give the player the chance he deserves.

 “It was very nice!, “said Pulisic for the club’s official site about scoring the goal. “I wasn’t sure if Mason would get that pass through but he slipped it through. It was a tough angle so it was a nice finish, and I’m really happy to get that goal.”

Christian Pulisic’s return to form would be of great use not only for Chelsea, who are looking to continue their climb on the standings, but also for the United States men’s national team. Pulisic is the key player for USMNT, and having him ready and confident could do wonders for the team’s chances at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. The USMNT will start the tournament in Group B with England, Iran, and Wales as its opponents.

Blues manager Thomas Tuchel revealed that Pulisic rejoined Chelsea this week, arriving at the training ground on crutches. Tuchel expects Pulisic to remain out of action for 10 days, meaning that the player is also likely to miss out on Chelsea’s opening Champions League group game against Zenit St Petersburg on Tuesday.

In addition to Pulisic, the Blues are also to be without N’Golo Kante this weekend, due to the French midfielder picking up an ankle problem that saw him also miss out on his national team’s fixtures during this latest international break.

There was some temporary talk around the possibility of striker Romelu Lukaku also missing out on the Premier League clash with Aston Villa due to a thigh injury, but Tuchel has dismissed such claims.

“No, not at all. Maybe he had some problems, but he came back two days ago, yesterday he trained with us, today he trained fully, no problems at all.”

According to Todofichajes, Bayern already reached out to Chelsea about a possible move and are willing to go up to $65 million to bring Pulisic back to Bundesliga. The 22-year-old American would also be in favor of the move as he looks to put his career back on track.

Pulisic established himself as one of soccer’s brightest young talents while playing with Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund. This secured him an $80 million transfer to Chelsea and a chance to display his talent in the world’s best league.

Unfortunately for Christian Pulisic, injuries and inconsistency prevented him from being at his best on Stamford Bridge. Since joining Chelsea ahead of the 2019-20 season, Pulisic only played 55 games for the club in all competitions while scoring 13 goals and dishing 11 assists. He has particularly struggled this season, managing only one goal in 15 Premier League appearances.

Despite this, Bayern is willing to bet on Pulisic and believe he could shine again in a league that he is familiar with. They see him as an ideal candidate to replace Kingsley Coman, who is set to depart the club and will continue to make a strong push.

Chelsea, on the other hand, wouldn’t mind making a return on their investment as it became obvious that Pulisic wasn’t playing his best since coming to England. They would probably use the incoming money to fund the summer spending as the new manager Thomas Tuchel looks to rebuild the club’s roster.

Pulisic got hurt during warmups for the game against Burnley in late October. Although the injury didn’t seem severe at the moment, it ended up forcing the 22-year-old American to miss five games.

However, according to Lampard, Pulisic is now ready to go, although he probably won’t get a start.

 “Christian Pulisic is back into contention and fitness,” Lampard told reporters on Friday. “He’s fit, ready to start is a question mark. It is hard to gauge match fitness.”

This is great news for Chelsea, as the club looks to remain in the hunt for their first Premier League title since 2017. The London club has suffered only one loss so far in the 2020/21 season and find themselves third on the standings with two points behind leading Tottenham and Liverpool.

Christian Pulisic, on the other hand, will hope to finally be available on a consistent basis after injury struggles marked the beginning of his stint with Chelsea. When on the field, however, Pulisic showed he is a difference-maker and has already racked up 12 goals and 10 assists in 39 appearances.

The Chelsea star suffered the hamstring injury during his club’s Premier League 3-0 victory over Burnley on October 31st, after which the injury was further aggravated during training prior to the exhibition match against Wales.

U.S. manager Gregg Berhalter was looking forward to seeing Pulisic in action, particularly since he had not gathered his first choice team in over a year. He explained that, while Pulisic had to seek treatment from the medical staff, it was great to see him in action for three or four days.

This injury means that Pulisic will miss out on the international first-team debut of Gio Reyna, the son of retired U.S. team captain Claudio Reyna. While Reyna will not have the benefit of playing alongside Pulisic against Wales, he remains confident in his abilities and is adamant that he will not change his playing style as a means of adaption.

“I think I just have to play my game like always try to do, like I’ve done with Dortmund so far,” Reyna explained. “I think if I can emulate what I did at Dortmund so far this season here, I think I can be successful here too.”

The Premier League side announced on Friday that Pulisic has been handed the iconic No. 10, previously worn by club legends like Joe Cole and Eden Hazard. The last player to wear this number was Brazilian forward Willian, who left the club this summer to join Arsenal.

Christian Pulisic joined Chelsea last summer and took the No. 22 jersey, which he previously wore with Borussia Dortmund. He enjoyed an impressive campaign with the club thorough the 2019/20 season, contributing with 11 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. Pulisic was exceptionally important for the team after the coronavirus pandemic break, fueling the run to the UEFA Champions League spot in Premier League.

Pulisic’s good performances didn’t go unnoticed in England, as he received the Premier League’s Young Player of the Year award nomination as well.

When he made his USMNT debut in 2016, Pulisic had a No. 17 jersey on his back. But after just one year, he was handed the No. 10, and he has been wearing it ever since.
