"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 is third in Serie A.
