MILAN: Christian Pulisic was confirmed by AC Milan on Friday to have injured his right hamstring while playing in a friendly for the United States this week.
“An MRI scan performed today revealed a low-grade tear in his right hamstring,” Milan said, adding Pulisic “will be reevaluated in approximately 10 days.”
Injuries like that can heal in as few as three weeks and a city derby against Inter Milan on Nov. 23 is one target for Pulisic’s return.
He has starred this season for Milan which are third in Serie A.
Pulisic seemed to overstretch his right leg when tackled in the first half of a 2-1 win Tuesday against Australia at the Colorado Rapids’ stadium.
The US have friendlies scheduled for Nov. 15 and 18 against Paraguay and Uruguay which, like Australia, have both qualified for the first 48-team World Cup.
The US will co-host the tournament with Canada and Mexico.
The US team’s next competitive game is their World Cup opener on June 12 at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles.
The draw is Dec. 5 in Washington, D.C.
