Pulisic's status has been up in the air all week after coming off at halftime against Paraguay, and the AC Milan forward has been limited in training since. Just before the lineups were announced, coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed his absence -- but that he is heading in the right direction.

"Christian is not available," Pochettino said.

"The evolution is really well. Today he was training in the morning in the training camp. I think the feelings are good, I hope as soon as possible he will be ready to play again and be part of the team."
