In the early hours of Saturday, a friendly match between the United States and Ecuador concluded with a 1-1 draw. The game featured players from Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan, but resulted in potential injury concerns for the Rossoneri ahead of their upcoming Serie A match against Fiorentina.
Serie A Players in International Action
Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie and AC Milan`s Christian Pulisic represented Serie A in the US national team. McKennie started the match, while Pulisic came on as a second-half substitute. Milan`s left-back Pervis Estupinan also participated, starting for Ecuador.
Injury Worries for AC Milan
Unfortunately, Estupinan was forced to leave the field before halftime due to an ankle injury. This development raises concerns about his availability for Ecuador`s upcoming friendly against Mexico and, more critically, Milan`s Serie A clash with Fiorentina on October 19. The defender had already missed Milan`s recent 0-0 draw against Juventus due to suspension.
As the international break continues, both Juventus and AC Milan will be closely monitoring their players` performances and fitness levels, hoping to avoid any further setbacks before domestic competition resumes.
