Pochettino Hopes Pulisic Injury Is Minor

US coach Mauricio Pochettino says he hopes Christian Pulisic's ankle injury isn't serious after the team's World Cup exit.

Pulisic left Monday's 4-1 loss to Belgium with a twisted right ankle after colliding with Youri Tielemans. Pochettino hopes the ailment isn't severe so the AC Milan star can return to club duty. somethingsdifferent.biz

"He's going to bounce back," said defender Alex Freeman. Pulisic expressed disappointment over not having the impact he hoped for during the tournament.
