Massimiliano Allegri can smile again, as his key players are returning. Pulisic and Rabiot are much better, and the match against Roma will likely be their last on the sidelines. Gazzetta dello Sport provided an update on their condition today.
Pulisic and Rabiot: ready to return in Parma
The initial recovery plan scheduled both to return for the derby on November 23, after the international break. But the progress made so far and their physical feedback suggest they could already be available on November 8 at the Tardini.
Between the two, the American’s injury was the less serious one (right thigh hamstring strain). He could have been on the bench already against Roma. The staff will take no risks, but he aims to start against Parma.
The Frenchman suffered a more delicate injury (left calf soleus strain) on October 10. The expected recovery time was around 40 days, similar to Leao's case. The former Marseille man has recovered faster and, if it were up to him, would already be back in training and on the pitch Sunday against Roma. He expects to be available in Parma.
Regarding international duty
As reported by 'Gazzetta', the club is working to prevent both from being called up. An agreement has already been reached with the United States, and talks with France are ongoing. Pulisic and Rabiot should therefore spend the international break at Milanello, ready to recharge for the derby.
