USMNT TEAM NEWS: Pulisic in starting lineup for USA against Trinidad & Tobago

Christian Pulisic has been named to the U.S. national team starting XI against Trinidad & Tobago, despite suffering a calf injury in last Friday's win over Panama.

After a training session Monday, the 19-year-old wouldn't definitely say he would play in the potential World Cup-clinching qualifying match at Ato Boldon Stadium.

Bruce Arena named an unchanged starting lineup, going with the same 11 players that dismantled Panama 4-0 last Friday.

The U.S. can clinch a spot in Russia 2018 with a win, while a draw will also likely be enough to advance due to goal differential over Panama and Honduras. 

Starting XI: Tim Howard, DeAndre Yedlin, Omar Gonzalez, Michael Bradley, Matt Besler, Darlington Nagbe, Bobby Wood, Christian Pulisic, Jorge Villafana, Jozy Altidore, Paul Arriola
