Christian Pulisic (United States and AC Milan forward) was excluded from the matchday squad for AC Milan's 3-2 loss to Atalanta in Serie A due to a minor glute injury sustained during the final training session. Sources indicate that the injury is not serious and was a precautionary measure. Pulisic's withdrawal comes at a critical time, just a month before the 2026 World Cup, where he is a key player for the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT). He has a history of muscle injuries, having missed a total of 56 days this season due to four different muscle issues. The USMNT manager, Mauricio Pochettino, is set to announce the final roster on May 26, with pre-World Cup training starting shortly after. The team's first match is against Paraguay on June 12. Meanwhile, AC Milan's disappointing season continues, leaving them at risk of missing out on Champions League football, currently holding the fourth spot but closely pursued by Roma and Como.
