DAVENPORT, Fla. — When the United States men’s national team enters a revenge rematch with Canada on Friday, it will face its rival without the team’s top player.
Forward Christian Pulisic was ruled out for the international break on Monday after suffering a hip injury with his club team Chelsea in the Premier League.
The Americans will cope with other injury-related absences during the key match on Friday — midfielder Michael Bradley was hurt during the MLS Cup on Sunday, while starting goalkeeper Zack Steffen will remain with his club in Germany while recovering from a bout of tendonitis.
