Allegri coy regarding Pulisic’s international duties: “We are letting them know”

Whether Christian Pulisic will join the US national team for the upcoming international break has been a hot topic lately. During today’s presser, Massimiliano Allegri was asked about it but gave a rather coy answer. 

Pulisic has been on the sidelines since on the sidelines since the middle of October, when he sustained a hamstring injury while on international duty with the US. Now, his return is getting closer and so is the next international break.

Understandably so, Milan are worried that Pulisic might be called up for the national team again, seeing as he could return against Parma next weekend. Some reports have even suggested that the Rossoneri will try to block a departure for the American star.

Allegri’s update

When asked about the matter during his press conference today, in view of Milan-Roma tomorrow, Allegri provided a rather coy response. Instead of confirming the alleged block for Pulisic, he just said that they are in contact with all national teams.

“We will see if Pulisic will be fully available against Parma, to then go to the national team. We are in contact with all the national team coaches and we are letting them know about our players’ conditions,” he stated.

After the way Pulisic was mishandled last time out, with Pochettino fielding him in a friendly despite being in subpar condition, one can only hope that he will remain at Milanello. Especially since the derby against Inter is coming up after the break…
