USMNT vs. Mexico: top injuries weighing on Americans

The USMNT will face México at the Azteca Stadium on March 24, Panamá at Orlando's Exploria Stadium on March 27, and Costa Rica at the Estadio Nacional in San Jose on March 30.

Currently in second place with 21 points, ahead of Mexico on goal difference, Gregg Berhalter's squad knows that losing their match against 'El Tri' would be catastrophic because it would jeopardize their direct ticket to Qatar.

That is why Gregg Berhalter will be pinning his hopes on the Chelsea player, who has performed well under Thomas Tuchel. So far in March, Captain America has scored two goals for the Blues, one in the Premier League on March 5 against Burnley and another in the Champions League on March 16 against French side Lille.

How many goals has Pulisic scored in CONCACAF qualifiers?

So far, the 23-year-old has scored just two goals in the 11 matches played in the CONCACAF octagonal. However, due to injuries, the player has only played a total of 7 games in these qualifiers and only 4 were as a starter.

His first goal in these qualifiers came against México, where the Chelsea player opened the scoring in Gregg Berhalter's team's 2-0 win on U.S. soil.

His second goal of the qualifiers came against Honduras at Allianz Field in Minnesota. The Stars and Stripes thrashed the Central American side 3-0. Pulisic scored the final goal after McKennie and Zimmerman had already scored the first two goals.

Pulisic, a key player for USMNT

Christian Pulisic will be one of the leaders in the attack for Gregg Berhalter's team. The U.S. coach will need him in top form to face the tough games ahead for the Stars and Stripes.

After the absence of Weston McKennie and Brenden Aaronson due to injury, the Chelsea player will have to lead the attack. In previous matches, the RB Salzburg and Juventus player had been in charge of the attack due to Pulisic's lack of play, however, now there will be no excuse, or the USMNT will be in trouble to qualify.
