MILAN – United States midfielder Christian Pulisic has a torn muscle in his right calf, AC Milan announced on Monday following an MRI, and he could be out until January.
Pulisic was injured during the first half of Milan’s 2-1 loss at Atalanta on Friday.
Milan said he would undergo another MRI in a week.
Pulisic has been one of Milan’s top players this season with five goals and four assists in Serie A. He has also scored three goals in the Champions League.
