SANTA CLARA, California, July 1 : Christian Pulisic has returned to a much-changed United States starting 11 for the round-of-32 clash against Bosnia on Wednesday.

• Pulisic came off the bench in the 3-2 defeat by Turkey in the co-hosts' last group match after suffering calf trouble earlier in the tournament.

• U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino has reverted to the exact 11 fielded in the 4-1 defeat of Paraguay in their opening group match.

• Bosnia coach Sergej Barbarez made three changes, with U.S.-born winger Esmir Bajraktarevic benched.
