Pulisic officially out: not called up against Lazio

Milan will have to do without Christian Pulisic in Saturday’s match against Lazio. The American forward is not included in the squad list due to muscle fatigue, which has led to a precautionary rest. This decision comes after Pulisic’s recent efforts, fresh from scoring in the derby against Inter, but now he needs to recover energy and physical consistency.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed the news, emphasizing how the team will adapt to the player’s absence: “Christian will not be available for the match,” he said, “but we have other attacking solutions that can guarantee intensity and quality.” The most likely alternatives up front are Christopher Nkunku or Loftus-Cheek, with Alexis Saelemaekers ready to complete the attacking options.

Pulisic’s absence represents a significant obstacle for Milan, considering the American’s ability to create space, beat his man, and make runs into the final third. However, Allegri is relying on the squad’s depth and the team’s tactical flexibility to face a determined and organized Lazio. The Rossoneri club prefers not to take any risks: the priority is Pulisic’s full recovery ahead of upcoming commitments, so as not to compromise the decisive phase of the season and Milan’s European campaign.
