Pulisic Ruled Out for Roma as Milan, USMNT Agree to Skip November Call-Ups

A Nov. 8 return at Parma is the target in a managed plan that prioritizes controlled recoveries.

Overview

  • AC Milan and the United States have agreed that Christian Pulisic will not be called up for the November friendlies so he can continue rehabilitation at Milanello.
  • Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot will sit out Sunday’s match against Roma, with both players expected to be eased back for the trip to Parma on November 8.
  • Milan is preparing talks with the French federation to limit Rabiot’s international involvement as he completes recovery from a calf/soleus injury.
  • Italian reports say Milan’s performances have dipped without Pulisic and Rabiot, exposing the strain on a deliberately small squad.
  • Santiago Gimenez’s Serie A goal drought has reached 627 minutes, drawing scrutiny and reports of scouting possible January alternatives.
