Finally some clarity

Finally we have some clarity on the Christian Pulisic call-up saga. Yes, the 17-year-old *cough* phenom *cough* was originally listed on the United States roster to face Guatemala this coming Friday. However, he was forced off due to an illness according to ESPN's Doug McIntyre, but could join the team in Columbus for the second match if he's feeling better.

Can confirm that 17-year-old Borussia Dortmund M Christian Pulisic was on initial #usmnt roster, will join team in Columbus if healthy.

This is rather huge news because it means that Jurgen Klinsmann is ready to cap Pulisic at such a young age.
