AC Milan’s star midfielder Christian Pulisic underwent an MRI scan earlier today to assess the extent of the calf injury he sustained during Friday’s match against Atalanta. The results revealed a low-grade lesion in the soleus muscle of his right calf.
Pazza di Fanta report how the American international was forced to exit the game prematurely in the first half, raising concerns for manager Paulo Fonseca and the Milan squad. This injury comes at a crucial time, with the Rossoneri facing a challenging schedule as they approach the end of 2024.
According to the medical report, Pulisic will undergo another examination in a week to monitor his progress. While the exact recovery time is yet to be determined, initial estimates suggest a minimum two-week absence from the pitch.
This setback means Pulisic will definitely miss Milan’s upcoming Champions League clash against Red Star Belgrade, a must-win game for the team to stay in contention for the top eight spots. It remains uncertain whether he will be available for the Serie A fixture against Genoa, or if his absence will extend beyond that.
Pulisic’s importance to Milan this season cannot be overstated. He currently leads the team’s scoring charts with five goals in the league, finding the net against Parma, Venezia, Inter, Lecce, and Fiorentina. Additionally, he has provided three assists, cementing his role as a key player in Fonseca’s system.
