Christian Pulisic Injured in Atalanta Loss

Christian Pulisic, the American midfielder for AC Milan, is set to undergo an MRI on his injured right calf after being forced off during the first half of Milan's 2-1 loss to Atalanta. Initial reports suggest he may have suffered a first-degree lesion, which could sideline him for two to three weeks, ruling him out of key matches including a Champions League clash against Red Star Belgrade and Serie A games against Genoa and Hellas Verona. Pulisic has been a standout player for Milan this season, contributing eight goals and six assists in 20 appearances. The club is anxiously awaiting the results of the medical tests to determine the severity of the injury. Milan manager Paulo Fonseca expressed confidence in the team's depth despite Pulisic's absence. This injury raises concerns for the U.S. national team as they prepare for upcoming competitions in March.
