USMNT star Christian Pulisic avoids injury after halftime substitution in AC Milan's victory over Cesc Fabregas's Como

<p>U.S. men's national team attacker Christian Pulisic has avoided injury after a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-forced-out-with-injury-in-first-half-of-milan-s-serie-a-clash-with-como/blt4d68c857d69095ed" target="_self">halftime substitution in AC Milan's 2-1 victory over Como on Tuesday had fans fearing the worst.</a></p><p>It's been <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6061740/2025/01/15/christian-pulisic-injury-milan/" target="_self">widely reported that the 26-year-old underwent a scan</a> with the Italian club, which revealed no muscle tear, and rather, all signs pointed to muscle fatigue as the reason for his removal from the match. The winger was seen clutching the back of his leg after a collision with Como's Marc-Oliver Kempf just before halftime -- which prompted the substitution.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It's brilliant news for both the USMNT and Milan, as Pulisic is on his way to having a career year for the <em>Rossoneri. </em>The 26-year-old leads the team in scoring with 10 goals, and in assists with seven, totaling 17 goal contributions across 23 appearances for the club in 2024-25.</p><p>In early December, Pulisic sustained a minor injury to his right calf that forced him out for five months, with the American making his return to the pitch for Milan in early January. He followed it up with two massive goals as he scored a penalty kick in their 2-1 victory over Juventus in the Super Cup semifinals and then helped spearhead a comeback against Inter Milan in the final, scoring their second goal as Milan lifted the trophy for the eighth time in club history.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Milan are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/marcus-rashford-kyle-walker-ac-milan-january-transfer-man-utd-man-city-stars/bltd50ec66910790d0f" target="_self">rumored to be in talks with England internationals Kyle Walker and Marcus Rashford</a> this January transfer window, with Walker looking to move on from Manchester City on a permanent deal and Rashford as a potential loan signing from Manchester United.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Milan clash with Juventus on Saturday in a match that will feature up to four U.S. internationals in Pulisic and teammate Yunus Musah, as well as the <em>Bianconeri's </em>Tim Weah and Weston McKennie.</p>
