Christian Pulisic haters, take note.
Pulisic suffered a bone bruise and a microfracture in his lower right leg during the U.S. men's national team's loss to Belgium in the World Cup round of 16, a source close to the situation confirmed to USA TODAY after The Athletic first reported the news Thursday. The injury will sideline him for several weeks, the source confirmed, but he could be back training with AC Milan before the start of the Serie A season, according to The Athletic.
Pulisic left the USMNT's last World Cup game in the 59th minute after a collision with Belgium's Youri Tielemans.
Pulisic lined up a shot and accidentally kicked the leg of Tielemans. After trying to play through the injury for several minutes, Pulisic came off after Belgium's third goal. The USMNT went on to lose 4-1.
After the game, Pulisic said he'd "twisted my ankle and my knee in one play."
