The United States Men's National Team will be back on the field this afternoon for a Group D game against Australia.
The team is still waiting for the official word on whether or not American star Christian Pulisic will be on the field after aggravating a calf injury he suffered last week.
U.S. head coach Mauiricio Pochettino said Pulisic is doing everything in his power to play and if he doesn't suit up this afternoon against Australia he'll be back for the final group stage game against Turkey.
"I think tonight, or the day before the game, we have a meeting with our medical area and we will assess the whole group, the players, and tomorrow we will communicate and see all the things that [we] can agree [on] tonight," Pochettino said. "He's evolving. He's much better from Friday. We'll see. I think at the moment, if we see he's not available for tomorrow, he will be available for the next game."
With Pulisic's name back in the headlines, so too are the rumors of his potential girlfriend.
Christian Pulisic Denied Sydney Sweeney Dating Rumors
The 27-year-old plays for AC Milan, an Italian team in the Serie A, and shortly before Christmas last year rumors from an Italian tabloid emerged suggesting the American soccer star was dating Anyone But You actress Sydney Sweeney.
Five days after the rumors began and took on a life of their own, Pulisic took to social media to put the story to bed.
“Please stop with the made up stories about my personal life,” the U.S. captain wrote on his Instagram Stories on Dec. 28. “Need to hold sources accountable it can affect people’s lives.”
Underneath another Instagram post alleging that he has been dating the actress, Pulisic wrote in the comments, “Fake news guys let’s stop with the silly rumor.”
The U.S. soccer star appears to be single, splitting from girlfriend Alexa Melton earlier this year.
