American soccer star Christian Pulisic is facing another setback as he will be missing AC Milan’s upcoming match against Roma due to an ankle injury. Pulisic, who was recovering from a calf issue, encountered a new injury during his rehabilitation process.

Milan’s head coach, Paulo Fonseca, expressed his disappointment at Pulisic’s latest setback. Despite hopes for his return in the Roma game, Pulisic’s ankle problem has sidelined him.

Fonseca did not disclose the seriousness of Pulisic’s new injury but highlighted the impact of his absence on the team. Pulisic, who has been a key player this season with the most goals and assists, will be greatly missed on the field.

Besides Pulisic, his international teammate Yunus Musah is also dealing with injury concerns, leaving Fonseca uncertain about their availability for the upcoming matches. Their absence presents a challenge for Milan as they prepare to face Juventus in the Supercoppa Italia semifinal.

Milan fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Pulisic and Musah to full fitness. Fonseca remains optimistic that both players will recover in time for the crucial upcoming fixtures.
