Christian Pulisic to Miss 3-6 Weeks After World Cup Microfracture Diagnosis
Christian Pulisic, the dynamic winger for AC Milan and the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT), is facing an estimated six-week layoff due to a microfracture discovered after the World Cup. This injury setback comes after a period of inconsistent form and injury struggles for the player, both at the club and international level.
Pulisic was forced off the field during the USMNT's Round of 16 World Cup match against Belgium, which they lost 4-1. His departure from the game immediately sparked concerns about the severity of his condition.
Injury Scans Confirm Extent of Pulisic's Injury
Recent reports from both American and Italian media outlets confirm that Pulisic has been diagnosed with bone bruising and a microfracture in his tibia/fibula. He was seen using crutches the following day at the team hotel, further fueling speculation about a prolonged absence.
However, sources cited by The Athletic and Calciomercato suggest that Pulisic's recovery time is expected to be between three and six weeks. This timeline could allow him to return to training in preparation for the start of the new Serie A season on August 23rd, when AC Milan is scheduled to face Torino.
Last season, Pulisic contributed 10 goals and four assists in 34 competitive appearances for AC Milan. Notably, his last goal for the club was against Verona on December 28th, and he has not found the back of the net in the subsequent 19 matches.
