Ruled out against Australia Pulisic (calf) is out for the United States match against Australia, with Ricardo Pepi set to start, United States coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed to FOX Sports.

Impact Pulisic has not trained fully all week after injuring his left calf during the win over Paraguay, where he was substituted at half time of the 4-1 victory. The 27-year-old was limited to modified training sessions throughout the week and has now been confirmed out, a huge blow for the United States having been one of their best players in the opener before the injury forced him off. Ricardo Pepi starts in his place Friday against Australia.

Back available against Australia Pulisic has recovered from calf discomfort and will be fully available for the United States' second game against Australia, according to Gianluca Di Marzio

Impact Pulisic spent the entire week training individually after feeling discomfort in his calf, an issue that forced him off at halftime in the opener against Paraguay. The substitution raised concern given he had been one of the best players on the pitch during his time on it, even picking up an assist, but there is now relief as reports suggest he has recovered and should be available for the game against Australia, with a chance to start.

Status for Thursday still unclear Pulisic (calf) remains in doubt for Friday's match against Australia, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino, per Ben Jacobs of TalkSPORT Live. "He was training individually the...

Impact Pulisic remains an unknown for Thursday's crucial group stage match against Australia, bound for the knockouts if the USMNT gets the win. This comes after a few days of only individual training, leaving most to lean towards a possible absence from Captain America. That said, even if he is selected from the team, he could not see the field, being cautious and saving the attacker for future matches if the game is at hand. Either way, it seems unlikely he will be in the starting XI, if on the team sheet at all, leaving Sebastian Berhalter, Brenden Aaronson and Giovanni Reyna chances at starting.

Still not in group training Pulisic (calf) didn't train with the rest of the group Thursday and was spotted working out in the gym, according to Henry Bushnell of The Athletic.

Impact The USMNT will take on Australia on Friday at 3 p.m. ET, and now it's uncertain whether Pulisic will actually play since he hasn't trained with the rest of the team throughout the week. Sebastian Berhalter, Brenden Aaronson and Giovanni Reyna are all options to take Pulisic's place in the lineup against the Socceroos, with each offering something different compared to the AC Milan playmaker. As things stand now, Pulisic might not even be fit enough to be an option off the bench Friday.

Difficult first game Modric had one cross (zero accurate) and one interception in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat to England.

Impact Modric conceded an early penalty after swinging his boot at Noni Madueke instead of the ball while attempting to clear a corner, with Harry Kane converting on the retake to open the scoring in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat to England. He struggled to control the tempo of the match as he has done for most of his career, also having his pocket picked by Elliot Anderson in the buildup to the penalty, and was substituted for Mateo Kovacic in the 58th minute on his 199th appearance for Croatia. Despite the disappointing result, Modric's appearance made him just the second European player to feature at 10 different major tournaments, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Still training alone Pulisic (calf) is still training alone and didn't work with the team Wednesday, per Tom Bogert of The Athletic.

Impact Pulisic was listed as day-to-day yesterday and is now still not training with the team. At this point it's getting hard to project Pulisic in the starting XI for the clash with Australia on Friday. Sebastian Berhalter replaced Pulisic against Paraguay, Giovanni Reyna would be another option to come into the starting XI if Pulisic can't go against Australia.

Delivers assist in win Rabiot assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Senegal.

Impact Rabiot played a major role in France's much-improved second-half performance, first teeing up Desire Doue for a shot that forced a save from Edouard Mendy in the 74th minute before delivering the pass that Bradley Barcola turned into a goal in the 82nd minute. He brought a steady hand to the midfield throughout the match and helped France seize control of the tempo once the side found its groove after halftime. Rabiot's veteran presence and composure proved invaluable as France gradually wore down a resilient Senegal squad.

Two saves in opener Maignan had two saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Senegal.

Impact Maignan caught a break in the 25th minute when Nicolas Jackson's effort rattled the post and ricocheted off his foot before bouncing harmlessly away, sparing him from an unfortunate own goal. He was eventually beaten by Ibrahim Mbaye's stoppage-time strike, which briefly put a scare into what had otherwise been a comfortable French victory, while making two routine saves during a largely quiet evening between the posts. France will need a more alert start from both their goalkeeper and defensive unit when the knockout rounds bring a much tougher challenge.

Listed as day-to-day Pulisic (calf) is day-to-day ahead of a showdown with Australia on Friday, per Tom Bogert of The Athletic.

Impact Pulisic is still in limited training Tuesday as he recovers from a calf knock. The winger is hoping to be back in the starting XI when the United States takes on Australia on Friday. Pulisic was a huge part of the team that dismantled Paraguay in the opening match, and is expected to be back fit for the second match, in some capacity.

Trains to side, expected to be fit Pulisic trained to the side Monday following a knock he received against Paraguay, but is still expected to make their match against Australia on Friday, according to Ben Jacobs of...

Impact Pulisic is only an option for training on the side Monday, but is still seeing some positive news, as the attacker is still likely to make the second match of the group stage. The likely plan is to have him boost his training as the week goes on, not putting too much pressure on him to be training with teammates now. Either way, this will bring confidence to the team after their opening game win, as Pulisic played a major part before his exit from the field.

Assist, off at halftime Pulisic recorded one assist before exiting the field at halftime in Friday's World Cup opener against Paraguay.

Impact Pulisic started his World Cup on the right note Friday, as the attacker recorded an assist on the USMNT's second goal of the match. However, this was not all, as his dribbling and movement into the box were the main reasons for the own goal that gave the team their opener. He would then be taken off at halftime, given the scoreline, preserving him for future games, as he didn't appear to come off injured. A start like this for Captain America is a bright sign at the 2026 World Cup, appearing to be in the correct form to lead this team on a run.

Bench role vs. South Africa Gimenez (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's World Cup opener against South Africa.

Impact Gimenez has been included in the squad after the coaching staff's close monitoring of his condition returned a sufficiently positive outcome, with coach Javier Aguirre opting for a cautious approach by keeping him among the substitutes rather than risking him from the start after a period of training separately from the Mexican squad. His presence on the bench nonetheless offers Aguirre a dangerous option to call upon, with the hope being that the coming days bring enough clarity to reintegrate him more fully into the tournament setup.

Primary left-back option for NT Estupinan is an established contributor on the left flank of his country's defense and will operate as one of the squad's main creative assets in the World Cup.

Impact Estupinan remains Ecuador's first-choice left-back and one of the team's most important players in possession. The defender brings experience from multiple top European leagues following his spells with Villarreal, Brighton and AC Milan, giving him a level of pedigree few players in the squad can match. His most recent club season was somewhat inconsistent due to injuries and competition from Davide Bartesaghi, but those factors shouldn't affect his standing with the national team. Ecuador regularly relies on him for both attacking and defensive duties on the left flank, making him a valuable two-way contributor. During the World Cup qualifying stage, he featured in 13 games, failing to score or assist but delivering a team-high average of 1.5 chances created per game.

One-game ban expected Leao is expected to serve a one-game suspension for the friendly against Nigeria after being sent off in the first half of Portugal's friendly against Chile following a confrontati...

Impact Leao ended the Serie A season with nine goals and three assists across 29 appearances for AC Milan as the club's top scorer in the league, and Portugal will be relieved to have their most dangerous wide attacker available from the very first fixture of the tournament. FIFA is expected to follow the same approach applied to Curacao's Jurgen Locadia last week, limiting the punishment to a single match rather than the standard two-game ban for a straight red card.

Impact Gimenez's situation will be monitored closely by the coaching staff over the coming days before any further clarity emerges on his availability for Mexico's World Cup opener against South Africa on June 11. Coach Javier Aguirre will have Raul Jimenez ready to lead the line regardless of whether Gimenez can prove his fitness in time, limiting the impact of the striker's uncertain condition on Mexico's overall tournament preparations.
