The USMNT has some injury concerns that could greatly impact the starting XI in their last-16 showdown with the Dutch…

For the first time at the World Cup, the U.S. men's national team is facing legitimate injury concerns.

There have been fitness issues, of course. Gio Reyna's has been a talking point throughout, and will remain so unless he plays significant minutes at some point. Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest, meanwhile, entered the tournament with some reasons for concern.

But the U.S. has not faced something of this level just yet as they look ahead to the knockout rounds.

Christian Pulisic is dealing with a pelvic contusion, having suffered the injury scoring his heroic goal against Iran. The U.S. is hopeful he'll play, but it isn't a certainty.

The same can be said about striker Josh Sargent, who started twice in the group stage. He's dealing with an ankle injury that could keep him out of the game against the Dutch.

So, what's Gregg Berhalter to do? How does he balance injuries, tactics, fitness and form heading into a one-off game against an international powerhouse like the Netherlands?

GOAL takes a look at how the U.S. may line up against the Netherlands on Saturday…

Won't waste too much time on this one.

Turner starts as always, having had a fantastic tournament so far. He nearly let one slip in late against Iran but the fact remains that he hasn't been beaten from open play so far this World Cup.

The only goal conceded was a Gareth Bale penalty that he did get his hands to. Not bad for a guy that only started playing the sport 12 years ago.

Another unquestioned starter.

Robinson has been vital to how the USMNT play down the left, working with Tim Weah to create overloads on that side of the pitch. It's worked well for the U.S. team so far and could certainly help to unbalance the Netherlands defense.

GettyCB: Tim Ream

He remains undroppable.

From out of the squad to an integral piece of it all, what a tournament this has been for Ream. If he was 10 years younger, some team would pay millions for him based on what they've seen so far.

Good for him, too, to finally be getting his flowers. He's certainly earned them this tournament.

Getty ImagesCB: Walker Zimmerman

The first of several big calls.

For the Iran game, Berhalter went with Cameron Carter-Vickers due to his familiarity with playing against a team in a low block. That's not something Zimmerman and Nashville SC do as often in MLS and, by the end, the decision to go with Carter-Vickers was justified as he handled Iran's counters well.

But, coming on as substitute, Zimmerman was incredible as he swatted away wave after wave of Iran attacks.

Against the Netherlands, the U.S. will likely have less of the ball than they did against Iran and you have reason to believe that Zimmerman will get the nod.
