Pulisic out with fever, Milan could miss him for the Torino clash | OneFootball

A new physical setback complicates Milan’s plans on the eve of the match in Turin: Christian Pulisic, expected to start, may be forced to withdraw.

Pulisic out due to a fever: Milan risks losing him against Torino

Milan has to deal with a last-minute unforeseen event that could change the lineup choices for tomorrow night’s away game against Torino. Christian Pulisic, named as one of the possible starters alongside Rafael Leao, has in fact been sidelined due to a fever that struck him during the night. The 1998-born player, ready to return to the starting eleven after a few matches of rest, may therefore not take part in the late match of the 14th round of Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

In a press conference, Massimiliano Allegri explained the situation without committing: “Pulisic had a fever last night, we’ll see if he’ll be available.” The coach’s words leave all scenarios open: from a possible call-up with limited use, to the possibility of leaving him completely at rest to allow him to recover ahead of the match against Sassuolo on December 14.

If Pulisic doesn’t make it, the usual internal battle for a spot in the starting eleven reignites. The main alternatives are Loftus-Cheek, who played in the Coppa Italia, and Nkunku, who started the last league match. The final decision will come only at the last moment, depending on the condition of the American forward.
