GdS: Pulisic eyeing return for Pisa-Milan after working on his days off

Christian Pulisic is eyeing a full recovery for AC Milan’s game against Pisa, eager to turn a corner after being on the sidelines for some time. 

The American has been struggling with bursitis, i.e. an inflammation, in recent weeks and that’s why he has barely featured for the Rossoneri. Rather than risking making the matter worse, Massimiliano Allegri has opted for other players in attack.

While Milan have arguably done okay in the No.11’s absence, it’s clear that they need their top goalscorer back. Especially in view of the derby, as he made all the difference in the reverse fixture with his awareness in front of goal.

Pisa is the new goal

According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo below), Pulisic has been working alone at Milanello in the last few days. Allegri gave the squad three days off after the win against Bologna on Tuesday, but as is usually the case, the injured players have still been at the training ground.

The goal is to be back in good condition for the game against Pisa, which is scheduled for Friday next week. There is optimism that Pulisic can make it, though the same cannot be said for Alexis Saelemaekers.

The Belgian will also be reassessed next week, but the feeling is that his muscle strain will require more time.
