Bianchin: Pulisic will miss Red Star clash and Genoa is ‘at serious risk’ – the latest | OneFootball

Christian Pulisic was forced to leave AC Milan’s clash against Atalanta after just 35 minutes due to an injury last night. As per the latest reports, the American will definitely miss the mid-week Champions League clash, which is a blow.

After a challenge on the right flank, Pulisic halted play and got treatment from the medical staff. However, it became clear pretty quickly that he wouldn’t be able to continue, and Paulo Fonseca decided to sub on Ruben Loftus-Cheek in his place.

According to Luca Bianchin, Pulisic will definitely miss the Red Star Belgrade clash on Wednesday due to the injury of his left calf. There will be an MRI scan on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, but the Genoa clash next Sunday is also ‘at serious risk’.

After Genoa, Milan will be up against Hellas Verona and just like yesterday’s game, it’s scheduled for a Friday evening. This means that Pulisic could potentially miss three games, should the scan deliver negative news for the Rossoneri.

It remains to be seen if Fonseca will opt for Samuel Chukwueze or Loftus-Cheek in the American’s absence. With Yunus Musah on the pitch, going with the Englishman might be a tad too defensive, as shown by the second-half stats yesterday.
