Team News and Injury Updates
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that forward Christian Pulisic is fit and available, though the star attacker is seeking to end a goal drought that has stretched to 21 appearances for club and country. Defender Chris Richards remains a major doubt after an injury concern at Crystal Palace, although he was named on the bench for their midweek Conference League final.
Senegal will be bolstered by the presence of attacking talents such as Sadio Mane and Ismaila Sarr. However, veteran centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly has been officially ruled out due to a lingering injury, casting serious doubt on his availability for the World Cup.
