The Rossoneri playmaker missed the session leading up to the friendly match against Ecuador, in which he should start from the bench. No certainties have filtered through from the American retreat, a precautionary stop is being considered but the player will be evaluated in the next few hours
Small alarm bell for Christian Pulisic who did not train with the American national team and who, according to the rumors filtering out from Austin, where the USA will face Ecuador on Friday evening, will not start against the South American team. Mauricio Pochettino, as he usually does, glossed over his captain’s physical problems, underlining however that he will only decide in the pre-match whether to field him or not. It’s difficult to imagine seeing him on the pitch but, although nothing has filtered through from the American retreat regarding the player’s possible physical problem, it still seems to be more of a precautionary stop. In the past there have been other situations in which Pulisic was “spared” by the national team, but these were moments in which he arrived from a super job with Milan. This is therefore not the case.

Pulisic himself spoke to the Stars and Stripes media on Thursday without citing any problems and at the same time underlining the importance of the October window for a national team that has certainly not shone in recent months. “We want to understand our state of form – said the Milan playmaker who, if he were to miss the match against Ecuador, would still have to be available for the match in Colorado against Australia on Tuesday -. I’m confident and have good feelings for the approach to the World Cup”. Milan obviously monitors the situation carefully from a distance, also because Captain America up to this point has been the only true essential of the Rossoneri attack.
