Pulisic: I'm doing 'everything in my power' to be ready for Netherlands (1:18)

Ahead of the USMNT's round of 16 clash with the Netherlands, Christian has an update on his health. There is a time and a place for it.

10:42 AM ET

The United States will face the Netherlands in the World Cup round of 16 on Saturday.

A spokesman for the U.S. Soccer Federation said that Pulisic's status is still day-to-day.

You can watch the LaLiga, Bundesliga, and more on the U.S. based on your location.

He injured himself after scoring against Iran. The US finished second in Group B and the question is whether he'll be able to play.

"I'm going to go meet with the team medical staff and make a decision on training today, just kind of see how I'm feeling," he said. I am doing everything I can to be on the field on Saturday.

He said that he did not get hit in the balls. He got hit in the groin.

It was very hard to handle. He said that the bone was there for a reason. It was sore but getting better.

Heading into Saturday's match against the Netherlands, Pulisic's status is the main concern. Without him, the US struggled in the second half against Iran.

No matter who is on the field, the team will get the job done, and that takes pressure off him, according to him.

He said that the team helped him take the pressure off of him. Sometimes I felt like I needed to do more.

I don't think that's the case with these guys. They have my back. I'm not worried because I know these guys and I know when I go down.

You know the talent. They put in a lot of work. The group's unity is what makes it special, and it doesn't take any pressure off of me. I have their back. They have mine, as well.
