The latest Christian Pulisic injury news serves up a major boost for Max Allegri’s first official game in charge, with the American expected to feature in Sunday’s Coppa Italia fixture.
Christian Pulisic Injury News
Max Allegri will welcome back perhaps his most important attacking asset this weekend, as USA international Christian Pulisic makes a full recovery from injury.
AC Milan’s top scorer last season was hauled off just after the break against Liverpool in Hong Kong, but fears over a suspected ankle injury have since been waived away.
As a precautionary measure, Pulisic did not fly out with the squad for Milan’s double-header in the UK.
Although reports suggested his recent lay-off could be a sign of a serious injury — much like the ankle problem that plagued his 2021/22 season with 53 days on the sideline — he has since returned to action.
The American was spotted in first team training on Tuesday, and is expected to feature in Sunday’s season opener.

AC Milan Team News vs Bari
The second coming of Max Allegri officially gets underway on Sunday, although the AC Milan manager will be banned from the dugout, as he serves a retrospective ban from his previous stint at Juventus.
Nevertheless, his pre-season preparation will have been key to this curtain-raiser, even if it is earlier than Milan would have liked.
That is thanks to their lowest league finish in a decade, which forces the Rossoneri into the first round of the Coppa Italia — the same competition they finished runners-up in last season.
Their journey in an attempt to go one better starts on Sunday against Serie B side Bari, and Allegri will have a near-full-strength team at his disposal.
It will offer Milan fans an opportunity to see new signings up close for the first time at the San Siro, with Pervis Estupinan, Samuele Ricci and Luka Modric all expected to start.
It is unclear whether Milan’s new signing Koni De Winter will be available for selection, with the Genoa defender due to undergo his medical this week as he arrives to replace the outgoing Malik Thiaw.
AC Milan Predicted Lineup vs Bari
Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Modric, Musah, Estupinan; Leao, Loftus-Cheek.
