This morning, the US men's football team defeated Australia 2-1 in a friendly match. Pulisic was injured and retired from the game.

Haye Wright scored twice for the US men's football team in this game, but Pulisic's injury cast a shadow on the team's victory.

The physical confrontation between the two teams was intense in this campaign. Pulisic suffered a leg injury and left the field early after Australian defender Jason Gerea's second fierce tackle.

After being knocked down by his opponent for the second time, Pulisic lay on the ground for two full minutes. At first his face was buried in the turf, then he rolled over and slapped the ground with his left hand. He quickly pushed himself into a sitting position but waited until two Team USA medical staff arrived to treat his right leg. A minute later he walked off the pitch as Pochettino and assistant coach Jesus Perez looked on blankly.

When Pulisic reached the sideline, Pochettino seemed to ask first a staff member and then Pulisic himself: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Pulisic's face showed frustration, but his expression did not change. After a brief exchange, with grass clippings still on his cheeks, he walked to the U.S. team's bench and sat down, as Diego Luna was preparing to replace him.

As the game continued, Pulisic sat there for several minutes. He bent down many times and looked very frustrated. Matt Turner, the substitute goalkeeper sitting on the right side of Pulisic, put his left arm around Pulisic and patted him on the back to comfort him.

A U.S. team spokesperson told The Athletic that Pulisic is being evaluated and specific information will be updated after the game.
