Overview
- AC Milan left the U.S. forward out of the squad Sunday after he felt discomfort in training, and he watched the Atalanta game from the stands.
- AP reported the issue as a lower back problem with scans set for Monday, following Italian reports that initially described glute discomfort.
- Milan lost 3-2 to Atalanta, a result that keeps them fourth level on points with Roma and only two ahead of Como, which puts next season’s Champions League spot at risk.
- Pulisic is in a career-worst league run of 17 matches without a goal and has gone eight games without scoring for the United States.
- AP added he is a doubt for next weekend’s trip to Genoa but could return for the season finale against Cagliari, and he is not currently viewed as a World Cup doubt.
