GdS: Pulisic problem ‘unlikely to be serious’ with assessments set to take place before holiday

Christian Pulisic will head on holiday shortly, but before that, AC Milan want to conduct some tests to see how his leg is.

During the USA’s game against Belgium, Pulisic’s leg jolted after a tackle by Youri Tielemans. It wasn’t a pleasant one, but it was not the fault of either player. Unfortunately, it’s one of those tackles that are part and parcel of the game.

Nevertheless, when the American admitted that he struggled after the challenge, it was not brilliant to hear. Indeed, he was visibly struggling when he came off the pitch, too, so there were some fears.

However, they may not be needed.

Pulisic – hopefully – fine

As Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the feeling at Milan is that the injury – if there is one – isn’t at all serious. In other words, they are not worried. So, his season should begin as normal, with calmness and without fears of a problem.

He has suffered with plenty of physical issues this year already, so the initial fears are understandable. Though they may not be warranted this time and the chance to have a break from football will only do him some good.

Once he returns to Milano, then his future will also be discussed, with Gerry Cardinale keen on a renewal.
