Christian Pulisic is likely to miss AC Milan’s Serie A clash with Lazio this weekend, manager Massimiliano Allegri said on Thursday.
The United States star, who recently returned from a hamstring injury, withdrew from training on Wednesday due to a minor muscle problem, according to reports in Italy.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Allegri was pessimistic about Pulisic’s chances of being passed in time for Saturday’s match.
“Pulisic is unlikely to play, although there are still two days left in the match and anything can happen,” he said.
Pulisic suffered a low-grade right hamstring injury in the first half of the U.S. men’s national team’s 2–1 friendly win over Australia on October 17.
He returned as a substitute in a 2–2 draw with Parma on 8 November.
While he was not included in Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT roster for November’s friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay, Pulisic started and scored the only goal in Milan’s derby win over Inter last weekend.
Milan are two points behind Serie A leaders Roma before hosting Lazio on Saturday.
