"There were some doubts in the build-up to the game about whether Christian Pulisic would recover in time for the trip to the capital. He missed the league game against Lazio on Saturday night after complaining of muscle fatigue last week, so the staff didn't take any chances. After only doing part of Tuesday's session with the rest of the squad, the doubts continued regarding his presence for the 'rematch' in Rome. Now, some positive news has emerged from this morning's training at Milanello."
"According to Sky and Gianluca Di Marzio, Pulisic is back and will be called up for the game. The American has recovered from his slight physical issue and will be a part of the squad for the last-16 fixture. He is likely to be used only during the match, given that he was sidelined for several days due to muscle fatigue which requires a more cautious approach. So, we could see Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku leading the line once again."
Pre-match concerns existed about Christian Pulisic's recovery for the trip to the capital after he missed the league game against Lazio due to muscle fatigue. He completed only part of Tuesday's session, prolonging doubts about his involvement for the rematch in Rome. Training at Milanello produced positive signs. Sky and Gianluca Di Marzio report that Pulisic has recovered and will be called up for the last-16 fixture. He is expected to feature only during the match as a cautious measure after several days sidelined. Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku are likely to start while Massimiliano Allegri plans multiple changes to keep the team fresh amid a crowded December schedule.
