In the latest setback for American soccer star Christian Pulisic, the Chelsea winger will miss AC Milan’s upcoming match against Roma due to an ankle injury. Pulisic, who was on the road to recovery from a calf issue, suffered a new setback during his rehabilitation process.
The news was confirmed by Milan’s head coach, Paulo Fonseca, who expressed disappointment at Pulisic’s latest injury. Despite hopes of his return for the Roma game, Pulisic’s ankle problem has ruled him out of contention.
Fonseca did not provide details on the severity of Pulisic’s new injury, but emphasized the significance of his absence for the team. Pulisic, who leads the team in both goals and assists this season, will be sorely missed on the field.
In addition to Pulisic, his international teammate Yunus Musah is also facing injury woes, with Fonseca unsure of his availability for the upcoming games. The duo’s absence poses a challenge for Milan as they aim to compete in the Supercoppa Italia semifinal against Juventus.
With Pulisic and Musah sidelined, Milan fans are left anxiously awaiting their return to full fitness. Fonseca remains hopeful that both players will recover in time for the crucial upcoming fixtures.
