"Understandably, given the injury to Christian Pulisic, AC Milan are frustrated with the handling of the player during the international break. In the lead-up to last night's game, it seemed Pulisic was a risk to start the game, with Mauricio Pochettino stating that they were 'hoping' to have him available. So, it was a bit of a shock when he started that game, considering his ankle had flared up."
"Then, 30 minutes in, that risk was proven not to pay off. Pulisic was forcibly substituted with an injury, which was believed to be a hamstring issue. As Garante_Il relays on X, Gazzetta dello Sport report that Milan are not happy with the Argentine or the American National Team, feeling that their star has been poorly managed over the course of the international window."
"The game against Australia was not an important one, so his usage is baffling to the club. In fact, they thought that he would not be risked for the game. So, to see him starting and then be injured has left a bitter taste in the mouth. On a brighter note, the report claims that he may only face a month on the sidelines, but it is still a big loss at an important time for the team, and the feeling remains a sour one."
AC Milan are frustrated with the handling of Christian Pulisic during the international break. Pulisic had an ankle flare-up but was unexpectedly named in the starting lineup and was substituted after thirty minutes with a suspected hamstring issue. Milan view his use in a low-stakes match as baffling and believe the player was poorly managed during the international window. The injury may sideline him for about a month, constituting a significant loss at an important time and leaving relations between club and national team sour.
