Christian Pulisic back in the starting lineup for the U.S. for the World Cup knockout round

Christian Pulisic returned to the starting lineup for the United States in their World Cup knockout round match against Bosnia-Herzegovina after recovering from a calf injury. U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino opted for the same lineup that secured a 4-1 victory over Paraguay in the tournament opener. Pulisic, who has scored 33 goals in 88 international appearances, had previously left the Paraguay game due to injury and missed the subsequent win over Australia, only appearing as a substitute in a loss to Turkey. Key players Folarin Balogun, Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson, and Chris Richards also returned to the lineup after sitting out the Turkey match to avoid suspension risks from yellow cards. The U.S. had already secured the top spot in their group, allowing them to start the knockout round with a clean slate. QUESTION: How might the return of key players like Christian Pulisic impact the team’s performance in the knockout stages of the World Cup?
