AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli will have a difficult decision to make regarding Christian Pulisic’s presence in the derby against Inter, a report claims.
We reported earlier in the week how there is a chance that Samuel Chukwueze could get his first start for Milan in the biggest game of all: the Derby della Madonnina that comes after the international break.
That is because the Nigeria international will play only once for his country over the break and that comes on 10 September, so he will return to Milanello quickly and in better shape, whereas Pulisic will be quite late back.
Now, Sky are reporting that Pioli’s concern is that after the break he will only have the USA international back for the final training session before the game against Inter.
He must then evaluate his condition after the double commitment with the American national team for potential fatigue and jet lag. If Pulisic is well, he will still play even after only one training session. If he doesn’t look 100%, the opportunity will present itself to Chukwueze.
But why, is not that he is better than chukwuez, and why making this decision please mr pioli when we have so many matches to play then?

Pioli will eventually kill chuckwezes confidence just like he did to other young players ,he does not have the ability to manage players ,chukwueze maybe sold in January or loan out cos pioli lacks vision
We got lots of games coming up including the big one vS Newcastle.. just play Chukwueze and pulisic from bench if needed.. need to manage minutes properly especially for a player like pulisic who has had many injury problems over the years. Deep squad is given by management this year for these reasons!!
Pulisic has been superb this season so far, play him. Chukwueze can make an impact on 60 mins
Not really a tough decision. I’m sure Pulisic will be ready to go. Most likely won’t play the entire match for the U.S. Making stories where there are none.
