"As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Milan have paid an extremely high price during the latest international break, just like a few more clubs. It's not exactly surprising, though, as there are some many games for players to feature in these days and it's not getting any better. Milan and Barcelona were the most affected clubs in Europe's top-five leagues, as the report continues, and they have both voiced their irritation about the injuries - directly or indirectly - while also aiming jabs at the national teams."
"In the Rossoneri's case, above all, they are upset with USA's coach Mauricio Pochettino for failing to protect Christian Pulisic. The star struggled with an ankle injury that the American staff was aware of, and still he played, while France underestimated the severity of Adrien Rabiot's calf injury. Milan must put their foot down It's clear that Milan, along with clubs like Barcelona, will have to change their stance on the international breaks moving forward."
Many injuries occurred during the international break, leaving several AC Milan stars sidelined. Milan and Barcelona emerged as the most affected clubs among Europe's top-five leagues. Milan is particularly frustrated with the handling of Christian Pulisic's ankle issue by the USA staff and with France's underestimation of Adrien Rabiot's calf injury. Some clubs have already taken protective actions, such as withholding players from national duty or recalling them after fixtures. Milan faces pressure to adopt similar drastic, common-sense measures to better shield players from congestion-related injuries during international windows.
