Christian Pulisic went against his wishes and was the one to report his injury to AC Milan, and it is a good thing he did.
Footballers take no pleasure in not playing, and this is especially the case in good form. For Pulisic, his derby goal was his fifth in eight Serie A games, and he would hope to add more this weekend alongside Rafael Leao for the first time.
However, he sustained an injury in midweek and reported it at Milanello. As a result, his chances of playing this weekend are slim.
Pulisic’s disappointment
Gazzetta dello Sport writes that the medical check-up showed no injuries. However, he did not train with his teammates, as Massimiliano Allegri revealed that he probably would not be back in time for the game against Lazio, as seen in the report below.
It has ‘deeply disappointed’ the American star, as he now faces another game on the sidelines after just returning from another. In fact, today he wants to ‘rev up the pace’, but caution is being taken at Milanello.
The coach and his staff are not willing to take risks in a busy season, especially as it is the same leg affected again. A short wait is more important than a longer absence. Frustrating, of course, but precaution must prevail.
