CM: Positive updates arrive about Leao and Pulisic with Pisa targeted – their conditions

Thanks to a specific recovery plan, AC Milan hope to have their star duo back for the game against Pisa next weekend, reports suggest.

This season, Massimiliano Allegri and Milan have been massively unlucky with injuries. Unfortunately, two players have suffered more than others. Of course, that duo in question has been Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.

Whilst they have had to overcome their own issues, they have also struggled to play together. When one returns, the other is out and vice versa. As a result, they have not be able to combine as the Rossoneri had hoped.

Pisa in focus

Against Bologna, Allegri’s side cruised to victory, without either of their stars having an impact on the game. In fact, Pulisic was not even in the squad, whilst Leao was left on the bench.

However, the pair may be heading back towards the squad, especially with no game taking place this weekend. In fact, alongside Santiago Gimenez and Alexis Saelemaekers, they have been at Milanello during scheduled ‘off-days’.

As Calciomercato.com reports, Leao will be there for definite against Pisa, given he is in a much better position than his American counterpart. However, he should not be alone.

Thanks to a specific recovery plan, developed by Allegri and his staff, Pulisic is pushing to return and he should be back for Pisa. He may be near-optimal or even in optimal condition, but it seems increasingly likely that he will be there.
