Berhalter: It'll be very difficult to keep Pulisic out of USMNT lineup against Honduras

The Chelsea star is expected to move right into the starting XI for the upcoming Nations League semi-final

U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter says it would be "very difficult" to tell Christian Pulisic he's not playing in Thursday's Nations League semi-final against Honduras.

Pulisic is set to join the USMNT in the coming days after missing the team's loss to Switzerland to take part in Chelsea's triumph over Manchester City in the Champions League final.

While Pulisic was making history as the first USMNT player to play in the Champions League final, the wing spots in the USMNT lineup were filled by Gio Reyna and Brenden Aaronson, both of whom impressed Berhalter in a 2-1 loss.
