United States winger Christian Pulisic will miss Friday’s Group D World Cup game against Australia due to injury, after training separately from his teammates this week.

• Pulisic, who has 83 international caps, was withdrawn at halftime in the opening World Cup game against Paraguay.

• Ricardo Pepi, who came off the bench in the Paraguay game, replaces Pulisic as the only change.

• Socceroos coach Tony Popovic makes two changes from the side which upset Turkey 2-0 in the first match, with goalscorers Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe on the bench.

• Australia’s 22-year-old goalkeeper Patrick Beach once again starts in place of Mat Ryan; defender Harry Souttar takes the captain’s armband.
