United States winger Christian Pulisic was substituted at half-time during his team's World Cup opener against Paraguay, with the Americans leading 3-0 at the break.
The Chelsea forward had started the match but was replaced as the United States looked to manage the game and protect their lead. Pulisic was seen leaving the pitch with what appeared to be a minor issue, though details remain unclear. The team went on to secure a comfortable victory in the group stage encounter. Fans will be hoping the substitution is precautionary rather than a sign of a more serious problem ahead of upcoming fixtures.
