Pulisic suffers low-grade calf injury but his 2024 could be over

Christian Pulisic underwent a scan on his calf injury this morning, and it has been confirmed that he is set for a spell on the sidelines, Report informs via One Football.

Pulisic was forced to leave Milan’s clash against Atalanta after just 35 minutes after he pulled up feeling some discomfort in his right leg. Reports had suggested that the American will definitely miss the mid-week Champions League clash, and possibly Genoa too.

Indeed, the MRI scan Pulisic underwent this morning highlighted a low-grade lesion of the soleus muscle in his right calf. A new test will be carried out in a week, meaning he will miss at least the next two games.

After Sunday’s game against the Rossoblu – which will be the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the club – the Rossoneri make the trip to face Hellas Verona. Following that is a game at home to Roma, which closes out the year.

It remains to be seen if the former Chelsea man will play another game before the end of 2024, and who Fonseca will opt for to replace him. Samuel Chukwueze could come in or it could be Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the American’s absence, or even Alvaro Morata in the No.10 role again.

MilanNews are reporting that the aim is to have Pulisic back available for the Supercoppa Italiana that will be played in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of January (the semi-final against Juventus is scheduled for January 3).
