Christian Pulisic, the USMNT winger, will not participate in AC Milan’s upcoming match against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium due to a minor muscular injury sustained during a previous match against Como.

In the pre-match press conference, Manager Sergio Conceicao confirmed Pulisic’s absence, emphasizing the need to avoid risking his recovery as he still experiences discomfort. Despite undergoing examinations on Wednesday confirming no serious injuries, the coaching staff remains cautious, especially since Pulisic recently returned from a calf injury.

Pulisic has been a standout player for AC Milan this season, netting ten goals in all competitions, and his fitness is crucial as the team prepares for the UEFA Champions League match against Girona next Wednesday.
