But in scoring the goal after 38 minutes, Pulisic was bundled into the Iran goal, and couldn’t even celebrate as he was in too much pain.

The Chelsea star was taken off at half-time and went straight to the hospital for tests, while his team-mates defended their lead and secured a date with the Netherlands on Saturday.

But despite concerns over his injury, Pulisic has assured fans that he’ll be playing in their knockout tie.

Pulisic shared a beaming photo to his followers from the hospital bed, but he looked anything but sad and uncomfortable, fist-pumping with a smile.

He assured fans as he wrote: “So f***** proud of my guys! I’ll be ready Saturday don’t worry.”

The USA went into the game against Iran knowing that a win was needed to secure qualification, assuming that England beat Wales in the other Group B clash

. The Three Lions didn’t disappoint, thrashing Wales 3-0 to confirm their status as group winners.
That left second place up for grabs, and Pulisic fired USA to victory to claim the final knockout place, as Iran and Wales crashed out. With the Netherlands topping Group A on seven points, they will therefore face the USA at Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday at 3pm.

The Netherlands have been in fine form, scoring five goals in the competition so far, three of those coming from breakout star Cody Gakpo.
