AC Milan are not happy with USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino because of the way he has handled Christian Pulisic, a report claims.
Alarms were raised over the past 48 hours when Pulisic came off during the first half of a friendly match against Australia. It has since emerged that he has sustained a hamstring issue, and that came after concerns about his ankle too.

Milan angry
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) have a headline that reads as follows: ‘Pulisic injured: Milan annoyed with Pochettino’. Those in charge at the Rossoneri haven’t taken the American’s muscle problem well, which he sustained in a friendly against Australia where there was nothing riding on the game.
The staff at Milan are convinced that Pochettino could have handled the situation much better, given that the striker was already dealing with an ankle problem as he himself confirmed. In essence, they believe he was risked and for no reason given no points were at stake.
He started the game, but was forced off in the 31st minute due to hamstring discomfort. The tests the forward will undergo today will reveal more about the extent of his injury and his recovery time, but there are already fears about it being a ‘serious’ problem.
he keeps doing this BS… not first time this pr*ck injured Puli
at the start I think he managed him well and did save him during few international breaks. But media and fans were killing them (USMNT as a whole) for not playing their star player to the point where neither Puli, nor Pochettino had the balls to refuse I guess.
It’s not the first, nor the last time it will happen, we just have to deal with it. Same things happen all the time within the club, but we never hear about it because it’s the club’s decision.
Is Puli that dumb that he can speak for himself about been injured? If you are not feeling well, you speak out, why blame the coach?
