Winger Picked-Up New Ankle Injury Before Manager was Sacked
Christian Pulisic’s injury troubles have deepened AC Milan’s challenges in a season marked by inconsistency. After recovering from a calf problem, the USMNT star suffered an unexpected ankle injury during rehabilitation, which ruled him out for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Roma.
Milan’s top scorer with eight goals and six assists, Pulisic’s absence is a significant blow, particularly as the team struggles to regain form in Serie A. His anticipated return for the Supercoppa Italia semifinal against Juventus on Friday is now a key milestone for both the player and the club.
Pulisic’s importance to Milan has been evident throughout the season, with his versatility and leadership on the pitch often serving as a bright spot. However, the timing of his injury adds to the upheaval at the club, which recently dismissed manager Paulo Fonseca after a string of poor domestic results.
Sergio Conceicao, formerly of Porto, has been appointed as Milan’s new head coach. Known for his emphasis on wide players in his 4-2-3-1 formation, Conceicao’s arrival could create fresh opportunities for Pulisic to shine upon his return. With Milan still alive in the Champions League, Pulisic’s recovery and Conceicao’s leadership may be pivotal in revitalizing the season.
