GdS: ‘On the move’ – Pulisic and Rabiot likely to be involved against Parma

AC Milan have been given some big injury news this morning, with two stars getting ready to return shortly. 

In recent weeks, the Milan squad has been massively affected by injuries, and this can certainly be put forward as a reason for the drop in results – which almost feels unfair to call it. Nevertheless, it seems that they may be exiting that rut.

Rabiot and Pulisic ‘eager’

This morning’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), states that Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic will almost definitely not be in the squad for the Roma game. Whilst it is tempting, it is a risk not worth taking.

Yesterday, they finished their recovery programmes, so they are now back ready to play for the Rossoneri much earlier than expected. It seemed they would be good to go for the Derby della Madonnina, but it could actually be against Parma when they return.

Both are ‘eager’ to play and want to be in the squad for this weekend’s game, hoping to lend a hand to their teammates. However, it would not be wise to risk them this early on. Instead, another week of preparation is more likely.

Pulisic hopes to start, and should, whilst it will remain to be seen what Rabiot’s position is; it will depend on training this week. In the meantime, discussions with their national teams will continue, with the Rossoneri keen to avoid their departures ahead of the Derby.
