Summary
Christian Pulisic worked away from the main U.S. group Monday in Irvine, doing individual drills before riding a stationary bike as he recovers from a calf issue.
The AC Milan attacker first picked up the knock in training last week and aggravated it in Friday's 4-1 win over Paraguay, when he left at halftime after helping create the first 2 U.S. goals.
Mauricio Pochettino offered only a brief "Good" when asked about Pulisic's condition, while Pulisic had said after the match he expected the problem to be minor.
Friday's game against Australia in Seattle is the immediate target, with Tyler Adams saying Pulisic "will be ready" despite the calf tightening during the halftime break.
