AC Milan left raging at USMNT over Christian Pulisic injury as Serie A side learn how long star forward will be sidelined

According to Italian outlet Repubblica, Pulisic could be sidelined for up to four weeks if tests confirm the extent of his injury. Earlier, USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino acknowledged that Pulisic had suffered a hamstring problem but admitted he was uncertain about its severity, adding that further examinations would determine the diagnosis. Milan are reportedly frustrated, believing Pulisic was unnecessarily risked by Mauricio Pochettino against Australia, as he had been showing signs of an ankle issue in recent weeks.

Pulisic has been a key figure in Massimiliano Allegri’s Milan side, contributing six goals and two assists across all competitions. He currently sits atop the Serie A scoring charts alongside Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini. Milan are third in the league standings, just two points behind leaders Napoli and second-placed Roma.

Pulisic is the latest addition to Milan’s growing list of injury concerns. Star forward Rafael Leao was recently sent home from the Portuguese national team after being deemed not match-fit. The Rossoneri are also without wing-back Alexis Saelemaekers, midfielder Adrien Rabiot and defender Pervis Estupinan, all of whom are currently sidelined through injury.

Milan will rely on Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez to step up in the absence of stars Pulisic and Leao when they face Fiorentina on Sunday.
