USMNT star Christian Pulisic ruled out of AC Milan match against Juventus, Weston McKennie and Tim Weah

<p>AC Milan manager Sergio Conceicao confirmed that Christian Pulisic will miss their crucial Serie A match against Juventus on Saturday, as the American winger is sidelined with an injury.</p><p>"Pulisic is out," Conceicao said in a press conference. "I don't feel like bluffing. He still feels some discomfort, and we don't want to risk it. It's nothing serious, but if he plays for about 20 minutes, he risks making the situation worse and I don't want that."</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pulisic, who missed most of December with a calf injury, only returned to the pitch at the flip of the calendar year. He had torn a muscle in his right calf and sustained a minor ankle issue that forced him out.</p><p>He's been Milan's top attacker in 2024-25, with five goals and four assists in Serie A and three more goals in the UEFA Champions League.</p><p>Milan sit seventh in Serie A, three places behind Juventus in the regular season standings. The <em>Bianconeri</em> are unbeaten in their 20 domestic league matches this campaign, drawing 13 matches.</p>
