There is a possibility that Christian Pulisic may miss the opportunity to face off against his former club Chelsea next weekend.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, Pulisic’s presence is uncertain for the Rossoneri’s final two pre-season friendlies against Leeds United and Chelsea, which will take place on August 9 and 10.

The American winger picked up a knock in the 4-2 victory against Liverpool in Hong Kong and was unable to play in the final test of the tour against Perth Glory for this reason, with the staff preferring not to risk him.
The paper goes on to state that his condition will be evaluated day by day as soon as the team returns to work at Milanello, which will be from Tuesday. For now, Pulisic remains doubtful for the two final friendlies across the Channel, with precaution necessary.
Pulisic would likely have hoped to play against his old side Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the club he joined Milan from. In the meantime, Fabrizio Romano reported that the USA international is very happy being a Rossoneri player, which is certainly encouraging.
In a recent interview with the same paper, Pulisic spoke about the positive signs from preseason so far, heaping praise on Massimiliano Allegri and also his team-mate Rafael Leao.
For the first time since Redbird bought into Milan, there are some positive movements. Hiring Allegri and Tare were huge. the Ricci signing very positive and a suitable swap for Reijnders. Moving Theo – a major malcontent dragging down the impressionable Leao – also positive. Getting RLC back in the fray positive.
Locking up Pulisic and Leao to longer term deals and bringing in Vladhovic and a right back and I think we’ll be solid.
nobody gives a damn about that average chelsea bench warmer pulisic! we want Chiesa to come play with Leao upfront and a Stricker like Moise Kean. u ask for Vlahovic !? that dude doesn’t know how to play football. he can only score 1 goal out of 4 clear chances when others serve him. it would be best if all of u american bums just leave our club for good. ownership gone and take that overhyped average pulisic with u
LOL. Candidate for stupid post of the year!
Ummm….Vladhovic has scored 35 goals in Serie A the last 2 years. Pulisic has scored over 30 for Milan.
You must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. Go have some risotto and get your blood sugar up.
A yank must have beat up your boyfriend lol.
Comment of the year.
Yep, that gets a vote from me for the stupidest post of the year. Although, this clown has had many other posts that are in contention with this one.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
hahahah 😂🤣, u ask for kean he scored 3 goals in conference league while puli scored 4 goals in champions league, hop off troll
As in one of the candidates for midfielder of the year in 23/24 for all of Serie A?
For the 2023-24 Serie A season, the following players were nominated for the Best Player awards by position:
Best Midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu Inter. Others Nominated – Teun Koopmeiners, Christian Pulisic Atalanta, Milan
And Rafael Leão was nominated for Best Striker too the same year.
Kean did get a player of the month award in Nov 24 – which ties him with Pulisic with one – and is two behind Leao who has 3 such awards.
Moise kean would be a good buy but La viola wont sell him anymore so keep dreaming. And disrespect to puli wont be tolerated, one of the best or even the best attacker in the last 2 seasons. And to be replaced by Vlahovic is mad, guy is asking for high wages and cant even do what pulisic did even as a striker.
