Christian Pulisic could miss the start of AC Milan’s Serie A season after suffering a microfracture and bone bruise in his right leg.
Pulisic sustained the injury during the United States’ World Cup round-of-16 loss to Belgium, being forced off in the second half.
It was his second injury of the tournament, having also missed a group-stage match due to a calf issue.
Neither Milan nor the USA have confirmed how long he is set to be sidelined, though Italian media reports say he could be out for three to six weeks.

That means he could be available for Milan’s Serie A opener against Torino on August 23, though he will also have missed much of pre-season.
Pulisic has struggled for form in recent months; he netted eight goals and registered four assists in the Italian top flight in 2025-26 but did not hit the back of the net after the turn of the year.
In fact, he has not scored in any of his last 19 league matches for Milan, registering just two assists in that time.
