Christian Pulisic returns to U.S. squad for friendly vs. Australia after ankle injury; Robinson and Zendejas out.

Christian Pulisic is expected to play in Tuesday’s friendly against Australia after recovering from an ankle issue that sidelined him in the 1-1 draw with Ecuador. Coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed Pulisic trained fully and showed no limitations. In contrast, Antonee Robinson remains out due to ongoing knee pain from offseason surgery, and winger Alejandro Zendejas left camp early with a knee injury. The U.S. team is using the match to experiment with tactics and player combinations ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
