Pulisic is unlikely to feature against Lazio after pulling out of Wednesday’s training with muscular discomfort, just as he was regaining rhythm following a recent hamstring layoff. Milan will likely err on the side of caution given his importance. Allegri confirmed Pulisic “is unlikely to play” but left a small window for late improvement with two days left before kick-off. The winger has seven goals and two assists in 10 games this season, so Milan must adjust their attacking plan if he misses out.

Milan have left Pulisic’s renewal in a stand-by phase. He is contracted to 2027 with a club option to 2028, but no new meeting is scheduled. After missing Europe last season, Pulisic is keeping options open until direction under Massimiliano Allegri is clear. Milan explored adding at least one year and a salary bump after Pulisic’s strong debut campaign. Progress halted amid competing priorities and sporting uncertainty. With leverage from term plus option, Milan can wait; Pulisic weighs performance, project clarity, and medium-term ambitions before committing.

Leão subbed as precaution; Milan play down injury scare

Rafael Leão (AC Milan)
October 2025

Rafael Leão (AC Milan) was withdrawn at half-time with hip discomfort after a prolific run of four goals in three games. Club messaging framed the change as precautionary given his August calf history and a recent national-team setback. With key fixtures ahead, Milan sought to avoid escalation, protecting a primary ball-progressor and transitional outlet on the left. Expect 24–48 hours of monitoring, anti-inflammatory management, and individualized reloading before football-specific drills. Staff will reassess hip flexion strength, change of direction, and max-velocity exposures. If soreness persists, imaging follows. Contingency: Christopher Nkunku (AC Milan) minutes on the left or rotated 9/10 duties, plus wider build-out patterns to offset Leão’s carry-and-cut profile.

AC Milan make Joe Gomez top January target

Joe Gomez (Liverpool)
October 2025

AC Milan have prioritised Joe Gomez for a winter move as the defender seeks more minutes. Club leaders Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani will try to strike a deal but will pivot if talks stall. Milan also plan renewals for Christian Pulisic, Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori and Alexis Saelemaekers.
Milan want an experienced centre back to stabilise a thin unit before the run in. Gomez offers versatility across the back line and Premier League pedigree. Contract extensions aim to lock key pillars while keeping options open if the Gomez pursuit proves unworkable.
