Pulisic injury worry for Milan against Atalanta | OneFootball

Milan are waiting for news after Christian Pulisic limped off with an injury during their Serie A trip to Atalanta.

The USMNT star had started the match at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Friday evening, but had to make way for Ruben Loftus-Cheek at the 38th minute.

He was spotted hobbling badly following a knock to the back of his right ankle and calf muscle from Mario Pasalic, not helped by the way that he slipped after the contact between these players.

Although Pulisic received treatment from the Milan medical staff, he was not able to continue due to the pain and had to be substituted.

He was helped off the field by two members of the medical staff.

Sky Sport Italia report the issue was a hardening of the calf muscle, so that will require further testing.

It is a concern for the Rossoneri, who have a big Champions League game coming up next week against Crvena Zvezda.

The 26-year-old American has scored eight goals with six assists in 19 competitive games for Milan so far this season.
