Christian Pulisic ended an almost two-month stint out of action on Tuesday when he played his first match for Chelsea since August, and the latest Episode of The SBI Show breaks down what his return could mean for the U.S. men’s national team.
Episode 337 of The SBI Show discusses Pulisic’s return to action, and his expected return to the USMNT, which could come just in time for him to feature against Mexico.
Host Ives Galarcep also discusses Weston McKennie’s red-hot form, Sergiño Dest getting some rest at Barcelona, Joe Scally’s continued impressive play, and much more.
Episode 337 also features a discussion of some of the tougher roster decisions Gregg Berhalter will have to make when he names the squad for the November World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday.
The MLS playoff race is also discussed, as we take a closer look at all of the implications involved in Wednesday’s MLS schedule.

Pulisic can play on the right side and Aronson can play on the left. Oh wait, no one starts ahead of Ariolla.
One thing I disagree with. Why bring only 2 strikers to the next round of qualifying? You don’t have to play everyone who comes in and what if you have an injury? Why is there such reticence by Berhalter about having an extra player or two?
Both Pulisic and Weah can play striker if need be and both can be pretty good at it.
The manager is overly reticent about having “extra” players around. I would have called in Sargent as cover.
Still, I don’t know why but with national teams at this time of year, if you don’t really need them it may be prudent to leave them at home.
