Allegri Raises Pulisic Concerns: “Won’t Risk Team Infection”
Massimiliano Allegri has expressed concerns over Christian Pulisic’s health ahead of AC Milan’s Serie A match against Torino. Pulisic is currently dealing with a fever, which casts doubt on his availability for the game scheduled for Monday at 19:45 GMT.
Allegri Addresses Pulisic’s Health Concerns
In a pre-match press conference, Allegri emphasized the importance of team health. He stated, “We won’t take him if he’s going to infect everyone.” Pulisic’s illness comes after he missed the recent victory against Lazio due to a muscular issue. He was, however, fit enough to play as a substitute against Lazio in the Coppa Italia just a few days prior.
Upcoming Match Details
- Match: AC Milan vs. Torino
- Date: Monday, September 25, 2025
- Time: 19:45 GMT
With a win, AC Milan can reclaim the top position in the Serie A standings. Allegri’s squad is already missing Santiago Gimenez and Youssouf Fofana, raising the stakes for the upcoming match.
Impact of Pulisic’s Absence
Pulisic has been a key player for Milan this season, sharing the team’s leading goal tally with five goals in Serie A. However, the duo of Pulisic and Rafael Leao has started together only once this season, during a pivotal match against Inter at the end of November.
As Allegri focuses on the upcoming week, he is hopeful for the return of Gimenez and Fofana. He remarked, “Pulisic had a fever last night; we’ll see tomorrow whether he’s available or not.” The coach views the upcoming fixtures as crucial for the team’s success.
