Pulisic expected to be benched in decisive Milan game vs Feyenoord | OneFootball

Multiple reports claim USMNT star Christian Pulisic will start on the bench for Milan in a crucial Champions League game against Feyenoord on Tuesday.

The Rossoneri trained at Milanello today.

Pulisic was part of the group on Monday, but according to several sources, including TMW, MilanNews and Calciomercato.com, the American winger won’t start against Feyenoord tomorrow.

TMW explains that the former Chelsea star is not fully fit, so Sergio Conceiçao will likely pick Yunus Musah as a right winger.

Rafael Leao and Joao Felix are also expected to start behind sole striker Santiago Gimenez.

Musah missed the first leg in the Netherlands last week, serving a one-match ban.

The Rossoneri lost 1-0 against Feyenoord last week, so they need a win tomorrow to qualify for the Round of 16.

Pulisic has made 20 Serie A appearances for Milan this season, scoring six goals and providing eight assists. He has also contributed four goals in eight Champions League matches and two goals in two Supercoppa Italiana games, totaling 12 goals across all competitions.
