Squad Update Ahead of Serie A Showdown

AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that the club’s leading scorer, Christian Pulisic, is set to miss the upcoming Serie A fixture against Lazio, scheduled for Saturday. Speaking at a press conference held two days prior to the match, Allegri expressed uncertainty over the American winger’s availability, casting doubt on whether Pulisic would feature in the crucial league encounter.

“Pulisic will hardly be available for the match, but anything can happen tomorrow and the day after,” stated the Milan boss via Milan News.

Latest on Fitness and Recovery

Pulisic has only recently returned from a hamstring issue, which he picked up during international duty with the United States Men’s National Team in October. After returning to the squad, the 25-year-old made a substitute appearance against Parma just before the international break, before starting last Sunday’s derby clash with Inter. In that fixture, Pulisic scored the decisive second-half goal to secure victory for the Rossoneri.

Allegri provided further updates on the squad’s condition, noting that Saelemaekers is fit, while Gimenez is expected to gradually rejoin training next week. The remainder of the squad is reported to be in good health ahead of Saturday’s tie.

Serie A Standings and Player Statistics

Milan currently occupy second place in the Serie A table, standing level on 25 points with Napoli and just two behind league leaders Roma. Pulisic’s impact has been significant since joining the club, as he has tallied seven goals and two assists in 10 appearances across all competitions this campaign.
