According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", Pulisic is absent from the training of the US team and may serve as a substitute against Ecuador.
In preparation for the friendly match in Ecuador, Pulisic’s absence from training attracted attention from the outside world. It's unclear if the core member of the U.S. national team is injured, but sources say it may just be a precaution.
US coach Pochettino did not clearly state Pulisic's physical condition in an interview, but said he would make a decision before the game. Nonetheless, given that Pulisic has been used sparingly with the national team in the past, this absence from training may just be out of caution. This time around, though, things are different as Pulisic isn't experiencing an excessive match load.
Pullisic himself did not mention any physical problems in an interview with the media on Thursday and emphasized the importance of the October international match. "We want to know where we are and I am confident and have a good feeling about the next games," said the Milan star. If Pulisic misses the match against Ecuador, he is expected to return against Australia next Tuesday.
