AC Milan's American winger, Christian Pulisic, who had to leave the match against Paris Saint-Germain at the San Siro in the last few minutes, underwent medical tests to understand the extent of his injury.
According to what is reported by Milan News, the MRI test showed that the former Chelsea winger ruled out any muscle injuries to the left thigh flexors. It was only a strain.
Pulisic's situation, though, will continue to be monitored on a regular daily basis at Milanello until he fully recovers and reaches a full fitness level.
Pulisic felt his left leg cramp up, and he feared the worst. It was just a bad cramp coming on in stoppage tim Plus, he had just seen Leao go off in pain.
So these “injuries” of late are psychological with Pulisic. This is not good for two reasons:
1. Other players will use his psychological fear of injury against him. Look how they all gathered around him over a cramp. That was kind of embarrassing. They will target him even more and try to “shake” him up, knowing that they can get into his head.
2. His fear of getting hurt makes him play more timid than he otherwise would.
Pulisic needs to shake off his fear of getting hurt because he is very important to the team. The team really needs him to be on the pitch consistently. This is harder said than done because it is a mental thing, but I hope his support network is talking to him.
