"AC Milan are hoping to have Christian Pulisic back sooner than first thought, and they want to keep him over the November break. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, Pulisic has been Milan's best player this season, with four goals and two assists to his name in Serie A so far. However, he has been forced to watch from the sidelines in the last two games with an injury issue."
"Having acknowledged that he had a sore ankle ahead of the first USA game in the October break, Mauricio Pochettino nevertheless started him in the second match against Australia. The MRI scan he underwent showed a hamstring issue, with a diagnosis initially of a month out. The plan for Pulisic Meanwhile, Christian has been training to recover from his injury, following a personalised program. It's a plan that has paid off: Pulisic won't be back tomorrow against Atalanta and is unlikely to be available against Roma on November 2nd. However, this possibility can't be completely ruled out."
"A friendly against Uruguay is scheduled for November 19th but with no points or qualification at stake, Milan would like to avoid another possible intercontinental trip for the striker. A 'vacation' at Milanello would be much better, where Pulisic would then be fully over his muscle injury. After the break, the Serie A schedule features the most intense of matches: the Milan derby. The club wants to avoid Christian returning tired from New Jersey (the United States-Uruguay match will be played at the MetLife Stadium), and being available to the coach only a few days before the restart."
Christian Pulisic has been Milan's standout player with four goals and two assists in Serie A but has missed the last two games due to injury. An MRI revealed a hamstring issue with an initial prognosis of about a month out. Pulisic has followed a personalised recovery programme and is targeting availability for the Parma match before the November break. He is unlikely for Atalanta and probably unavailable for Roma on November 2nd, though that cannot be ruled out. Milan prefer Pulisic to skip the November 19th friendly in New Jersey to avoid travel and return tired ahead of the derby.
