Christian Pulisic was forced to leave the U.S.’s 4-1 victory Honduras in San Pedro Sula Wednesday night with an ankle injury.

The severity of it was not immediately known.

“We’re going get more info on it when he goes back to London,” U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter said. “We’re not sure the severity of it now.”

His club team, Chelsea, hosts Aston Villa Saturday.

Pulisic, the Americans’ best player, left the game limping in the 62nd minute.
