Christian Pulisic left out of Milan squad due to injury

US national team and Milan midfielder Christian Pulisic missed the 2-3 defeat against Atalanta due to a thigh injury. According to ESPN, the player's exclusion from the matchday squad was a precautionary measure, though his return date remains uncertain. This is reported by Goal.com .

This loss comes at an inconvenient time for Milan. The team currently sits fourth in the Serie A table with 67 points and is in a tight race with Roma for a Champions League spot. Como is also closing in, trailing by just two points.

Pulisic has made 18 appearances this season, recording 8 goals and 3 assists. However, since the end of 2025, the player has lost his starting spot due to injuries and inconsistent form. His performance this season is significantly lower than in previous years.

While experts are concerned about Pulisic's chronic muscle issues, this injury is not expected to affect his participation with the US national team. The squad, led by Mauricio Pochettino, continues preparations for the upcoming World Cup, and Christian Pulisic remains a key player.
