USA coach Gregg Berhalter insists Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic's injury problems won't be long-term.
Berhalter dismissed any suggestions that he will have long-lasting injury tendencies, and insisted it's just a case of the youngster still adapting to the physical nature of the English game.
He said: “I don't see it like that.
“I really see it as a young player who is just adapting to the demands of a different game, a different schedule.
“When you get injured, when you have a muscle injury, it takes you a while to get fully fit and recover and this is part of his recovery process.
“I have no doubt that he's going to be a player that is fit for a very long period of time when he gets through this period."
Pulisic is currently away with the US national side, and Berhalter confirmed he would be monitoring his condition.
“Christian is in camp and is listed as day-to-day," he continued.
"It says a lot about Christian that he wasn't playing for Chelsea but wanted to come into this camp and be around the team. His status is day-to-day."
