Christian Pulisic has been confirmed as the captain of the USMNT for the CONCACAF Nations League fixture against Grenada.
The Chelsea forward will wear the armband when USMNT return to action to take on Grenada on Friday in their first game since the 2022 World Cup. An injury sustained in January against Manchester City in the Premier League kept Pulisic out of action for two months until he returned to action from the bench against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on March 7. The forward has allayed any fears about his fitness before facing Grenada and insisted he feels “ready to go”.
“I’m feeling healthy, I was able to come back and get a start before I came here. [My] injury has recovered well, the knee is feeling good. Ready to go, hopefully, be a part of these matches,” he told reporters.
The USMNT international will hope to put in an impressive performance to help fire his team over the line against Grenada on Friday and subsequently against El Salvador three days later.
