USMNT's Christian Pulisic says he's interested in Tokyo Olympics; wants to 'prove myself right' at Chelsea

Pulisic would like to be involved in Tokyo but it will be up to Chelsea to decide

Christian Pulisic has declared his interest in joining the U.S. men's national team at the Tokyo Olympics. The USMNT still have to qualify for the tournament, which takes place between July 21 and Aug. 7 as European clubs are gearing up for the start of their domestic seasons, but their Under-23 side will do so if they win their semifinal in Guadalajara on March 28 after Wednesday night's matchup against Mexico. Pulisic would be eligible for the U.S. squad, which must predominantly be made up of players 23 and younger, but his club Chelsea would not be obliged to release him for the tournament, which falls outside of FIFA's international calendar.
