AUSTIN, Texas - United States men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino hailed Christian Pulisic as one of the world's best offensive players but said he was concerned about the AC Milan star's workload amid his stellar start to the season.
Pulisic has scored six goals and added two assists in all competitions for Milan, having started all nine games this season.
"I think he's a fantastic player, one of the best offensive players in the world," Pochettino said about Pulisic in a news conference Friday.
"I think that we are a little bit worried that sometimes we need to protect [Pulisic]," Pochettino said.
