Mixed news from Texas: Pulisic fine but Estupinan goes off injured – the latest

Some mixed news has come in overnight from the game between the United States and Ecuador, which involved two AC Milan plyers.

As MilanNews writes, a friendly match between the USA and Ecuador was played in Austin, Texas in the early hours of this morning (European time), which ended in a 1-1 draw. The visitors took the lead through Valencia in the 24th minute, with Balogun levelling in the 71st minute.

Christian Pulisic was a doubt for this match, but he came on in the second half. The Milan forward – who wasn’t at his best physically according to coach Mauricio Pochettino’s comments the day before – started on the bench and replaced Tim Weah in the 73rd minute.

Pervis Estupinan , on the other hand, started for Ecuador. However, he was forced to leave the pitch in the 44th minute due to injury (he was replaced by Medina). According to Olè, the left-back suffered a problem with his left ankle.

The player will most likely miss his national team’s next match against Mexico and then he will return to Milanello in order to undergo some evaluations. The hope is that it is nothing too serious and was more precautionary than due to something severe.
