"It's not a criticism, but when you train in Austin, where it's hot, and then come to Denver with the altitude and it's very cold, it's a big risk. I don't want to say that's the reason for the injuries to Christian and Malik, but it's difficult for the players. We're very sad about the situation. It's something we'll have to fix in the future."
"Yes, it was frustrating to see him go out with a hamstring injury. It's not easy, especially considering how good he was at the start of the season with AC Milan. What we want to see from him is that he continues to play consistently and maintains a great rhythm, so that he can arrive at the World Cup in top form."
Christian Pulisic suffered a muscle problem believed to be a hamstring injury after 30 minutes in the United States' friendly against Australia and will fly to Italy for further evaluation. The injury followed two challenges from Jason Geria — an ankle contact in the 15th minute and a lower-leg kick in the 26th — with the second forcing his removal. Training in hot Austin then playing in cold, high-altitude Denver was identified as an increased risk for players. Medical evaluation will take place overnight before a definitive diagnosis. Team-mate Christian Roldan expressed frustration and urged an immediate recovery to reach the World Cup in top form.
