Our Captain America had barely stepped onto the field when disaster struck, 38 minutes in, an injury forced him out during AC Milan’s clash with Atalanta. A football team is like a machine, and when one part breaks down, the whole system is affected. The result? A disappointing 2-1 loss to Atalanta. Fans were left in sadness, wondering: How long will Christian Pulisic be sidelined? But there’s a glimmer of hope as Fonseca hinted that the 26-year-old return might be sooner than expected.

Paulo Fonseca has been making good use of the star man recently, with Christian Pulisic contributing five goals and four assists in 14 matches. However, Milan’s form in Serie A has been far from perfect. With only 26 points from 16 games, they sit in seventh place, a worrying 11 points behind league leaders Atalanta. In their last game, though they managed to scrape a 1-0 win over Verona. Their league record has been underwhelming with just 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.

AC Milan has been battling through a string of injuries. But amidst the challenges, there’s finally a glimmer of hope for the Rossoneri faithful. As the team pushes to close 2024 on a strong note in Serie A, a positive update has emerged about Christian Pulisic’s recovery. After the narrow 1-0 win over Verona, head coach Paulo Fonseca shared some cautiously optimistic news about two key players, Rafael Leao and Pulisic. “Rafa told me it’s nothing special, I think we could have him against Roma. I’m optimistic about Pulisic for Roma, but we’ll see during the week,” Fonseca said, hinting at a possible return for Captain America.

A close observation next week will determine if he’s ready to come back onto the field. Could this mean we’ll see him in action during Milan’s crucial fixtures against Roma in Serie A or Juventus in the Italian Super Cup semifinal? Christian Pulisic, who was sidelined by a low-grade tear in the soleus muscle of his right calf, has missed three games so far. Fortunately, reports suggest that his recovery is progressing faster than expected.

When it came to his injury, which was determined to be a calf problem, the 26-year-old was comparatively lucky. Fortunately, AC Milan did not have any important games during his injury period, which is both a relief and a setback. AC Milan has fared well without Pulisic, with two victories and one draw. However, with important games coming up, Fonseca’s remarks have raised hopes that Pulisic would at least make a comeback.

While the USMNT has no matches until March 2025, injuries to key players like Pulisic still resonate beyond club football. Interestingly, AC Milan has another injured USMNT star on their roster. Do you know who it is?

Pochettino’s woes multiply as another Milan star joins the injury list

The injury crisis at AC Milan shows no signs of easing, with yet another setback for the Rossoneri. Midfielder Yunus Musah, who picked up a muscle injury during training, has been sidelined for weeks. After missing the crucial games against Genoa and Verona, it’s now confirmed that Musah will also sit out Milan’s upcoming clash against Roma.

AC Milan’s injury woes have undeniably tested the team and their fans. Do you agree? This latest update effectively ends Musah’s 2024 campaign. While leaving fans wondering how Milan will cope without the dynamic midfielder in their lineup. With key players like Christian Pulisic already on the recovery list, Musah’s absence adds to Mauricio Pochettino’s growing concerns. Will his absence further impact their push in Serie A and the Italian Super Cup?

In the end, Milan will fight to salvage their season with crucial fixtures. While Pulisic’s potential return could provide a much-needed boost to the Rossoneri’s campaign.
