Sky: Pulisic not travelling with squad for Torino game – the plan if he recovers

Christian Pulisic will not start for AC Milan against Torino on Monday night as he continues to battle a fever, a report claims.

As announced by Massimiliano Allegri in his press conference, Pulisic suffered from a fever last night, leaving his presence in the squad for tomorrow’s match away to Torino in doubt.

Pulisic remains at home

As reported by Sky (via MilanNews), the American missed training at Milanello today due to his illness and will not travel this afternoon with the rest of the Rossoneri squad, who will travel to the Piedmontese capital by bus.

If he is well enough tomorrow, Pulisic will travel to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino alone and possibly join Allegri’s group. Pulisic, however, will certainly not start – at most he could recover and be on the bench.

Allegri was hoping that Pulisic would be fit enough to start alongside Rafael Leao for only the second time in Serie A. Given that he is not, it will be another battle between Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku to partner the Portuguese.

Pulisic returned to Massimiliano Allegri’s squad for the derby against Inter on November 23rd, three weeks after suffering a thigh problem while playing for his national team. He was then forced to miss the last league match against Lazio due to muscle fatigue.
