As Santiago Gimenez prepares to watch Milan’s clash with Lazio from the sidelines, the club enters the Stadio Olimpico with a mystery surrounding the striker’s absence.

Christian Pulisic features heavily in the pre-match conversation, even though he won’t be in the starting XI.

Christian Pulisic’s status has been the central storyline surrounding Milan ahead of its Coppa Italia showdown with Lazio, and Massimiliano Allegri’s latest comments have only added intrigue.

Christian Pulisic heads into another defining weekend as Milan must again work around the absence of Santiago Gimenez, while simultaneously managing the remarkable resurgence of Luka Modric, who has become an unexpected cornerstone in the Rossoneri’s roster.

Christian Pulisic’s season has already swung from injury frustration to derby brilliance, and now back into uncertainty again — and coach Massimiliano Allegri has added another layer of intrigue.

Beneath the surface of Sunday’s clash lies a tactical twist: a reunion nearly 100 days in the making, one Allegri has quietly prepared as a weapon against Inter’s rigid structure.

Somewhere within this compressed build-up lie two lingering questions: what role will Christian Pulisic play, and how might Luka Modric alter the balance of the derby?

Christian Pulisic’s comeback for Milan was supposed to bring calm and control for Massimiliano Allegri after weeks of frustrating draws. Instead, his return highlighted just how fragile the Rossoneri’s recent performances have been without him.
