AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic has suffered a significant setback ahead of his return to the club. The American international picked up an injury during his country's World Cup match against Belgium, which ended in a disappointing defeat. Pulisic lasted just 60 minutes on the pitch before being forced off due to a caviglia e ginocchio slogatura. This comes after a lackluster World Cup campaign for Pulisic and the United States team.

The injury is a blow to Milan, who will be hoping to build on a strong season with a revamped squad. Pulisic's form had tailed off towards the end of the previous campaign, and he will be eager to get back on the pitch and prove himself. The American's World Cup campaign got off to a promising start against Paraguay, with an autogol and assist, but he was unable to maintain that level of performance.

Pulisic's injury is a concern for Milan, who will be looking to strengthen their squad in the transfer window. The club's hierarchy, including Cardinale and Amorim, will be keen to address any weaknesses and build on the team's successes. For now, they will have to contend with the news that Pulisic will be sidelined.

The severity of Pulisic's injury is not yet clear, but it is a worrying sign for Milan ahead of the new season. The club will be monitoring his progress closely and hoping for a swift recovery.
