Christian Pulisic was not called up for tonight’s match at San Siro against Lazio because of thigh fatigue picked up a few days ago in training.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the American forward’s issue, and he is coming off the winning goal in the derby against Inter last Sunday, does not raise concern, and his return is expected between Thursday’s Coppa Italia match against Lazio and the next league match against Torino on Monday, December 8.
Without Christian Pulisic, Massimiliano Allegri is expected to start Christopher Nkunku, who trained yesterday next to Rafael Leao and is ahead of Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the selection battle. Alexis Saelemaekers also stopped in training on Wednesday like the American, but the Belgian cleared his back discomfort fast and will start on the right against Lazio. Santiago Gimenez and Zachary Athekame are still out.
