AC Milan faces another setback with Christian Pulisic, who suffered an injury during Tuesday’s match against Como in Serie A, forcing him to leave the pitch before halftime. The American winger has become a key player for the Rossoneri, and his absence is a concern for both his club and the USMNT ahead of upcoming fixtures.

Pulisic, who had been showing excellent form in his first year with Milan, was forced to leave the game without completing the first 45 minutes. While the club has yet to confirm the severity of the injury, uncertainty about his recovery grows as the player had become essential to Sergio Conceicao’s plans.

This new injury comes at a delicate time for Milan, which had already dealt with a calf injury to Pulisic before the winter break. His absence has had a negative impact on the team’s performance, with Milan only managing two draws and one win in Serie A in his absence. Additionally, Milan faces crucial upcoming matches, including a clash against Juventus and a Champions League showdown with Girona, uncertain whether they will have the player available.

The match against Como, which ended in a 1-2 comeback for Milan, saw Rafael Leao make the difference with a stunning goal in the final moments. However, Milan looked vulnerable throughout much of the game, highlighting that the team is still struggling with inconsistency. As for Como, the team managed by Cesc Fàbregas played promising football but lacked the finishing touch when it mattered, costing them the victory.

Despite securing all three points, Milan still fails to convince, and without Pulisic, the team seems to lose some of its attacking power. Conceicao will have to find solutions to avoid over-relying on one player while waiting for updates on the American’s recovery.

Meanwhile, Pulisic will undergo medical exams in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury, and Milan anxiously awaits to learn whether the impact will be temporary or extend longer. Without a doubt, the team’s future could depend on his swift recovery.
