Reports in Italy claim Christian Pulisic’s tests on his injured calf highlighted a low-degree lesion of the soleus muscle, which means the American winger will return to action in January.
USMNT star Pulisic is not expected to play again for Milan in 2024 after medical tests on Monday showed an injury to the soleus muscle.
Sky Sport Italia and Milannews quote Milan sources saying that exams highlighted a low-degree lesion of the soleus muscle in the right calf. The American winger will undergo a new MRI scan next week.

Both media claim Pulisic won’t play again for Milan this year as the Rossoneri hope he will return to action at the beginning of January for the Supercoppa semifinal against Juventus in Riyadh.
It will be played on January 3 and will be the Rossoneri’s first match of 2025. The Supercoppa Final is scheduled for January 6.
Pulisic sustained a calf injury during a 2-1 loss against Atalanta on Friday. The American star has eight goals and six assists in 20 appearances across all competitions this season.
