Christian Pulisic has given US fans and his national team a marked boost ahead of its do-or-die Round of 16 clash with the Netherlands Saturday morning. 

Pulisic scored the winning goal in their final group game vs. Iran to secure progression, before succumbing to an abdominal injury which occurred in the act of scoring. Following his substitution, he was taken to hospital. 

Amid fears on his condition, what appears to be a snapchat picture of Pulisic from his hospital bed has surfaced on social media, retweeted by the USA team's official account, showing him cheering.

Awaiting them are the Netherlands who finished top of Group A ahead of Senegal, Ecuador and hosts, Qatar. 

Without Pulisic, the Dutch would present an order almost too tall to conquer, but with him they are every chance of knocking off the Oranje.
