Tuttosport: Pulisic’s setback gives Chukwueze a chance he must take

By Oliver Fisher -

Christian Pulisic is expected to miss the game against Lecce which is another injury blow for AC Milan, but it does provide Samuel Chukwueze with a chance to demonstrate his abilities.

Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) writes how Milan have little time to enjoy the victory that they obtained in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, because they have a must-win game against Lecce on Saturday.

Pulisic is not expected to be present and if he is then it will not be from the start. The American forward suffered a contracture of the flexor muscle of his left thigh and the MRI – which he underwent yesterday – ruled out an injury.

However, since it is the same problem as Napoli, his conditions will be monitored day by day. Against Lecce it will be Chukwueze’s turn to show why he was the most expensive signing of the summer transfer window, given he is yet to score a goal and is returning after a one-month absence.

  1. I hope he gets it going cause it would be great if he finds his Villareal form. Given Leao’s form i wouldn’t mind selling him next summer for 100+mil, then shift Pulisic on LW(his natural position) and investing in starting CB,RB, back up winger and another midfielder.
