Milan, updates on Pulisic’s fitness: growing optimism for Saelemaekers | OneFootball

Updates are coming in regarding the condition of Christian Pulisic, who had to stop early during yesterday's training session due to thigh fatigue.

Milan, Pulisic is doubtful for the match against Lazio: Saelemaekers expected among teammates

Max Allegri's Milan is preparing to face the team coached by Maurizio Sarri in the big match on Saturday night at San Siro. Here is the update from La Gazzetta dello Sport on the conditions of Pulisic and Saelemaekers:

“The muscle problem is not further specified by the club, but it is a “simple” fatigue. Simple to say: when it comes to Chris's muscles, the technical leader of the Rossoneri attack, the man of the derby and many other matches, there is always a bit more apprehension. Because Captain America is no stranger to such issues, especially given the importance he holds in the team today.

“Simple” because in the end it is just fatigue and not a more significant issue: for this reason, the situation will be monitored, without ruling out in advance his absence in Saturday's match against Lazio. Pulisic will be evaluated day by day, but the doubt, inevitably, remains. Allegri and the fans hope for a full recovery: today Max will speak to present the challenge against Lazio. Between what the coach will say and what the field will reveal today and tomorrow, more will certainly be known.

Saelemaekers followed the same program as Pulisic: he started yesterday's work with the group and then stopped, due to a back discomfort, completing the session alone. He is not a concern: against Lazio, he should be regularly in his place on the right wing. The only alternative in attack would remain Nkunku: to be used during the match (but a different attitude is needed…) if Pulisic is in the game; as a starter, paired with Leao, if caution prevails regarding Chris.”
