Christian Pulisic suffers injury setback as ankle causes worry
Injury issues continue to plague AC Milan, with leading scorer Christian Pulisic now out of Sunday’s Serie A clash against Roma after a setback during his recovery, coach Paulo Fonseca said.
However, eighth-placed Milan, who were missing eight players when they beat Verona 1-0 on Dec. 20, are expecting forward Álvaro Morata to return to the squad, Fonseca told reporters on Saturday.
“I expected to have Pulisic. He is fine, he has recovered from his calf problem, but in the last two days he has had an ankle problem,” the coach said about the United States international.
“It has arisen in the recovery process, and he is not ready to play tomorrow, not even for the bench.”
Fonseca said that although Morata and Ismaël Bennacer were doing well, English midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek would only be back next week, with Yunus Musah and Rafael Leão trying to be fit for next Friday’s Italian Super Cup clash with Juventus.
“We’ll have 11 anyway,” the 51-year-old coach added.
Fonseca, who previously coached Roma for two years, said it would be special to face his former club.
“Roma is a great club; they have a great team … I have many friends there,” he said. “But … in the 90 minutes, I only have the thought of winning.”
Milan, who have 26 points from 16 matches, are five points behind the top five, with frustrated fans booing their performance earlier this month. Fonseca said it was too early to write his team off.
“The mood is good. I can’t be more positive after the last training sessions,” he added.
Christian Pulisic, the talented winger for the US Men’s National Team and Chelsea FC, has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury. Pulisic, who has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past few weeks, aggravated the issue during a recent training session.
The news comes as a blow to both Pulisic and his fans, as the young star had been making progress in his rehabilitation and was hoping to return to action soon. However, the setback has caused concern among his team’s medical staff, who are now reassessing his recovery timeline.
Pulisic’s absence has already been felt on the pitch, with Chelsea struggling to find their rhythm without his dynamic playmaking abilities. His injury has also raised questions about his durability and ability to stay fit over the course of a grueling season.
Despite the setback, Pulisic remains determined to overcome this latest obstacle and get back to full fitness as soon as possible. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on his condition and hoping for a speedy recovery for the talented young winger.
