As reported by Milannews, Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri has dropped Pulisic for this final friendly game in Asia because the American picked up a knock in his ankle against Liverpool on Saturday.

Pulisic has just begun his third season at San Siro and has netted 32 goals in 100 appearances across all competitions with the Serie A giants.

Milan will return to Italy after today’s game and will face Leeds United and Chelsea in August before the first official game of the season against Bari in Coppa Italia on August 17.
