In a disappointing turn of events for American soccer star Christian Pulisic, the Chelsea winger is set to miss AC Milan’s next match against Roma due to an ankle injury. This comes as Pulisic was making strides in his recovery from a previous calf issue, only to face a new challenge during his rehabilitation.
The unfortunate news was shared by Milan’s head coach, Paulo Fonseca, who conveyed his disappointment regarding Pulisic’s latest setback. Although there were hopes that he could return in time for the match against Roma, the new ankle injury has unfortunately sidelined him.
While Fonseca did not elaborate on the specifics of Pulisic’s injury, he did highlight how significant the player’s absence will be for the team. Pulisic has been a standout performer this season, leading the squad in both goals and assists, and his skills on the field will surely be missed.
Moreover, Pulisic’s fellow international teammate, Yunus Musah, is also dealing with injury challenges, leaving Fonseca uncertain about Musah’s availability for the upcoming matches. The absence of both players presents a considerable hurdle for Milan as they prepare for the Supercoppa Italia semifinal showdown against Juventus.
With Pulisic and Musah out of action, fans of Milan are left anxiously hoping for their swift return to full fitness. Fonseca remains optimistic that both players will recover in time for the pivotal fixtures ahead.
