With his brace yesterday against Torino, the American has climbed to the top of the Serie A scoring charts with seven goals, tied with Lautaro Martinez. While the Inter captain has a league average of one goal every 151 minutes, the former Chelsea player scores one every 64 minutes. Considering those who have scored at least two goals in the first 14 matchdays, no one has such a low minutes-per-goal average (including the Coppa Italia, his average drops to one goal every 61 minutes).
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.
AC Milan are currently expected to be without star man Christian Pulisic for Saturday's game at San Siro against Lazio. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, there's some concern at Milan regarding Pulisic's condition, as he pulled out of training yesterday with muscle discomfort in the second session since his derby heroics on Sunday. It's unlikely to be anything serious for the American, but the situation will be monitored with the utmost caution given his importance.
