USA hero Christian Pulisic sends message from hospital bed after injury sustained while scoring World Cup winner against Iran as Chelsea star vows to be fit for Netherlands clash in last-16


Christian Pulisic sent a message from his hospital bed after being forced off with an injury picked up as he scored the winner in USA’s crucial 1-0 victory over Iran.

The Chelsea star vowed to be fit for the last-16 clash against the Netherlands after hurting himself while scoring the goal which sent his nation through.

Pulisic watched the second-half from hospital

The winger was the man to sweep home from close range towards the end of the first half after some fine work from Weston McKennie and Sergio Dest.

With a ball played into the penalty area, Pulisic slammed home from the goal mouth but was clattered by Alireza Beiranvand in the process.


As a result, he lay on the floor in the back of the net as his teammates celebrated, before the USA medical team came on to treat him.


The 24-year-old was held by two physios as he eventually made his way back to his feet, leading to concern that he had done himself some serious damage.


Pulisic was able to rally and made his way back into the pitch to help his teammates for the rest of the half, despite looking less-than comfortable.

However, his recovery was short-lived and he was brought off at the half-time break and replaced by Leeds star Brendan Aaronson.


As it turned out, Pulisic was sent to hospital and watched the team get over the line from his bed.

The Chelsea star posted a message on Instagram allaying any fears he will miss the knockout clash with the Netherlands on Saturday.


He said: “So f****** proud of my guys I’ll be ready for Saturday don’t worry.”

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
