Bad news for Amorim’s Milan: Pulisic will be forced to remain sidelined for at least 6 weeks following the injury he suffered against Rudi Garcia’s Belgium. During the match against the Red Devils, which was valid for the World Cup quarter-finals, the American forward was forced to leave the pitch after sustaining a double injury caused by a challenge during play.
While attempting to intervene on the ball, Pulisic struck an opponent’s leg, suffering a problem between the tibia and fibula.
The subsequent examinations revealed swelling in the fibula, with recovery times expected to be around 6 weeks, as relayed via Pazzi di Fanta. Three of those weeks will be spent resting (coinciding with the player’s holiday period), while the remaining weeks will be dedicated to rehabilitation and regaining fitness. Optimism is filtering through from the Milan camp. The Rossoneri staff, in fact, expect to have their number 11 available again for the opening league fixture against Torino, allowing Pulisic to begin the new season in the best possible physical condition.
