USMNT’s Berhalter is sure Pulisic will play against the Netherlands

was substituted at half-time after a pelvic injury he picked during scoring the USA's winner against

as he led his side to qualification from their group as the runner-ups. However, his

boss Gregg Berhalter is confident Pulisic will feature in their Qatar 2022 clash with the Netherlands.

"

We're going to see him on the training field today,"

he said.

"What I think is it looks pretty good. But we're going to have to see him on the training pitch today to get confirmation of that.

"[Sargent] is another one we're going to test in training, see where he's at. With Christian, we're hopeful, with him a little less so.

"We'll see. He's going to test. At this stage, it's go time. If you can push through it, you do. I'm sure he'll have that mindset."

On limiting Dortmund's wonderboy game time,

Giovanni Reyna

, Berhalter said:

"I think a lot of it comes down to timing and circumstances.

"If you look at how the games unfolded, we've had the lead and had to hold onto the lead late in the games.

"The only game we didn't have that scenario, we actually put him in to help get the victory.

"It's just how we can use him in the most effective way. He's a really talented player, and we're looking for the right moment he can no doubt help this team."

Amid the criticism the Netherlands faced for their playing style this tournament, the American coach is confident his side will have a lot of troubles against

Louis van Gaal's

side.

"

I'm laughing because there's always criticism of Holland,"

he said.

"How many coaches are there in Holland? Seventeen million now?

"I heard the same thing in 2014. I remember playing away at Ajax, losing 1-0 at half-time, and Ajax were being whistled off because they only scored one goal.

"I think Louis van Gaal has tough enough skin. He realises his job is to deliver wins. He's been doing that. They're undefeated in the group stage.

"I'm sure he's focused on trying to guide his team to the final. He was very successful in 2014, and he has a way to win wherever he goes.

"If I'm the Dutch public, I wouldn't worry about it too much, I'd just wait and see."
