MILAN (AP) – U.S. forward Christian Pulisic missed AC Milan’s Serie A game against Atalanta on Sunday with a lower back injury, another blow to America’s top player who was already struggling with poor form and a record-low scoring record.<\/p>\n

Pulisic felt an issue during practice on Friday and was deemed too serious to be placed on the bench on Sunday. According to Italian media, Pulisic is scheduled to undergo medical tests on Monday.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the 27-year-old will feature in Milan’s penultimate game against Genoa next weekend, but he could return for next week’s final home game of the season against Cagliari.<\/p>\n

Pulisic has not scored in a career-high 17 league games since Dec. 28. He hasn’t scored a point in eight games for the U.S. national team.<\/p>\n

Milan lost 3-2<\/span> They faced Atalanta at home on Sunday and were trailing 0-3 until the 88th minute, putting them at risk of missing out on qualification for next season’s Champions League.<\/p>\n

The Rossoneri are in fourth place, qualifying for the final Champions League spot, level on points with fifth-placed Roma and just two points ahead of Como.<\/p>\n

Pulisic’s participation in the World Cup is not considered to be in doubt.<\/p>\n

The United States will play friendly games against Senegal on May 31st and Germany on June 6th. Group D will be played against Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood, California.<\/span>. The Americans will play Australia in Seattle a week later and finish the group stage on June 25 against Turkey at SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n
