Pulisic trains apart; Poch says U.S. star 'good'

Article excerpt

Christian Pulisic trained separately from the U.S. men's national team on Monday as he recovers from a calf injury sustained last week, though coach Mauricio Pochettino indicated the star attacker is on track. The separation from main-group drills suggests a cautious approach to Pulisic's rehabilitation, but Pochettino's optimistic assessment signals the injury isn't expected to sideline him long. The timing is significant as the USMNT manages key players through the international window.
