Head coach Max Allegri expressed Pulisic\u2019s latest setback is minor.<\/p>\n<p>As reassuring as Allegri\u2019s views are, this is the third time Pulisic has been crocked this term. His first came on international duty against Australia in October.<\/p>\n<p>The hamstring problem suffered against the <em>Socceroos<\/em> meant he missed four consecutive Serie A games. None of which ended in defeat for Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic missed the Lazio match back in November owing to muscular problems. The 27-year-old soon recovered and was back in action nine days later against Torino where he scored a brace.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the Pennsylvania native has missed a total of 15 games since joining AC. Which isn\u2019t vast in the grand scheme of things but it is becoming a slight concern. Something of which Pulisic doesn\u2019t need going into the World Cup.<\/p>\n<h2>Christian Pulisic\u2019s World Cup Chances<\/h2>\n<p>In the summer, Mauricio Pochettino defended Christian Pulisic\u2019s Gold Cup absence. The USMNT head coach knows how vital it is to have Pulisic fit and available for this year\u2019s FIFA World Cup extravaganza.<\/p>\n<p>However, his non-attendance was not appreciated by everyone associated with the US soccer team. Landon Donovan blasted Pulisic which instigated a feud.<\/p>\n<p>The US legend was not happy with the AC Milan star and Pulisic \u2013 alongside his own father \u2013 hit back at Donovan. The latter expressed his unhappiness at the fact Pulisic didn\u2019t particpate after a grueling campaign at club level.<\/p>\n<p>From Pochettino\u2019s perspective, the idea was to give \u2018<em>Captain America<\/em>\u2018 the summer off so he could be in the best possible shape for the upcoming World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that Pulisic will be the first name on the team sheet. He has skippered the side over 20 times and is on course to become the country\u2019s all-time leading scorer.<\/p>\n<p>With the above in mind, Pulisic only needs to keep himself physically fit with a refreshed mindest to be included in the roster. Therefore, he won\u2019t want to push himself to the absolute limit going into the final months of the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footitalia.com\/news\/christian-pulisic-injury-update-ac-milan-usmnt-serie-a-world-cup\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian Pulisic has been dealt a fresh injury blow which will come as a major concern to AC Milan and the USMNT.\u00a0 Pulisic missed the matchday 23 victory over Bologna due to bursitis.
