The United States men’s national team is gearing up to face Ecuador on Friday night, marking a significant opportunity to continue their success after defeating Japan in September. With Christian Pulisic not training before this match, there are some concerns.
Although Pulisic’s condition doesn’t seem critical, it’s wise to tread cautiously with the AC Milan star. Should he be unable to play, Haji Wright might seize this chance on the left flank. Recently called back due to his commendable performance with Coventry City, Wright is eager to solidify his spot on the World Cup roster.
Additionally, Antonee Robinson has returned to the squad but may not be ready for a full 90 minutes. His availability is essential if the defensive trio that effectively blanked Japan is reinstated.
