Christian Pulisic Out for Juventus Match

Christian Pulisic, the U.S. men's national team winger and current AC Milan player, will not participate in the upcoming Serie A match against Juventus due to a minor muscular injury sustained during a match against Como. Despite initial concerns, medical examinations revealed only muscle fatigue rather than a muscle tear. Pulisic had recently returned from a month-long recovery from a calf injury and was pivotal in AC Milan's Italian Super Cup victories. AC Milan's head coach, Sérgio Conceição, emphasized the importance of not rushing Pulisic back, as he is still experiencing discomfort. Pulisic's absence is a setback, but he will be monitored closely ahead of their Champions League game against Girona. AC Milan currently ranks seventh in Serie A and hopes to climb the standings with a victory against their unbeaten rivals, Juventus.
