Milan, new blow: hamstring lesion for Christian Pulisic. Three weeks out

Bad news for Massimiliano Allegri’s Milan. After Adrien Rabiot’s injury, Christian Pulisic is also sidelined. The American forward suffered a low-grade lesion in his right hamstring, sustained during the last match he played with the US national team.

According to initial medical evaluations, Pulisic will be re-assessed in about ten days, but his return to the field is not expected before three weeks.

Pulisic, the injury with the US national team

During the friendly between the United States and Australia, Pulisic felt a sudden pain in the flexor muscles of his right thigh. Despite a previous ankle issue, the player was fielded first against Ecuador and then as a starter against Australia. After about half an hour of play, he was forced to leave the field.

One of the medical staff members explained: “Christian felt a sharp pain and stopped immediately. Fortunately, the problem is low-grade, but caution is needed.”

Injury emergency: Rabiot also out

The Milan infirmary is filling up. Adrien Rabiot will also be forced to stop for about a month, after tests revealed a lesion of the soleus muscle in his left calf. The Frenchman, injured during his national team commitments, will be re-evaluated in ten days.

A source close to the club stated: “Rabiot will have to follow a personalized recovery program. Allegri does not intend to rush his return to avoid relapses.”

Good news for Saelemaekers and Estupiñán

In a complicated period for Milan, at least there is a positive sign. Alexis Saelemaekers has quickly recovered from the muscle problem he suffered with Belgium and has already trained with the group. The winger could be available for the match against Fiorentina, although with limited playing time.

The situation is still evolving for Pervis Estupiñán, who is still dealing with the aftereffects of a sprain to his left ankle. The full-back has started running again and hopes to be available by the end of October.
