"Blaming the international break is like barking at the moon. In some cases, see Saelemaekers, you can only curse the event; in others, however, you need to investigate further and intervene accordingly. I'm referring, of course, to the Pulisic situation, whose muscle injury, according to initial reports, will keep the American captain away from Milan for three to four weeks, until the next international break in November."
"It's hardly worth pointing out that in the American's case, US coach Pochettino was extremely irresponsible. First of all, these were two friendlies, and Pulisic arrived in the US with a bad ankle. And this alone should have discouraged his use. Not at all. Pulisic was also fielded in the second match and felt the muscle give way. At this point, the question arises: what can Milan do? Little, very little on the formal level. But behind the scenes, something can be done."
AC Milan have suffered multiple injuries during the international break, including issues for Alexis Saelemaekers, Pervis Estupinan and Adrien Rabiot, with Christian Pulisic's case drawing particular concern. Pulisic reportedly arrived with an ankle problem, was selected by the United States coach for two friendlies, and then suffered a muscle injury that may sideline him for three to four weeks. The club views the decision to play him despite the ankle issue as irresponsible and believes formal remedies are limited. Internal intervention and the use of influential club figures, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic as owner's advisor, are suggested as possible responses.
