SEATTLE (AP) — United States forward Christian Pulisic could only watch from the bench after injuring his right foot when he extended for a shot attempt and hit the boot of Belgium captain Youri Tielemans in the 52nd minute of Monday's round of 16 game.
After spending a few moments lying on the pitch, Pulisic began favoring the foot and was replaced in the 59th by Sebastian Berhalter with the U.S. trailing 3-1.
Pulisic was slowed by a calf injury during the group stage of the World Cup. He returned to the starting lineup for the Americans' 2-0 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the round of 32.
Pulisic has 33 goals in 90 international appearances but has not scored in this tournament.
