Sources: Christian Pulisic won't play for USA at Gold Cup

"Christian Pulisic may not be in his best form as he’ll miss the USMNT's Gold Cup participation due to a recovery period after an intense European season. The injury stems from recent reports of a chronic hip flexor issue, though it’s unclear if this is the cause. Meanwhile, the U.S. team faces a depleted squad with key attackers like Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah, and Gio Reyna sidelined for the FIFA Club World Cup. The manager emphasized the importance of player fitness but acknowledged the challenges in preparing an optimal lineup ahead of the Gold Cup."
