Conceicao confirms Morata, Pulisic and Thiaw exited Como-Milan due to injuries | OneFootball

After the game between AC Milan and Como, Sergio Conceicao confirmed that Alvaro Morata, Christian Pulisic and Malick Thiaw all left the pitch due to injuries. Or at the very least discomforts that must be evaluated.

Pulisic was the first to throw in the towel following a challenge at the end of the first half. It looked like his ankle was the problem, as that is where the contact took place, and he immediately signalled for a substitution. Morata and Thiaw, meanwhile, were subbed off without obvious injuries.

Speaking to the media after the game, first to Sky and then at the press conference (via MilanNews), Conceicao confirmed that all three of them left due to injuries. He also stated that there seem to be muscle problems in general for the team, which isn’t ideal.

Is there a physical issue? Pulisic and Thiaw got hurt…

“Morata as well, he had a bit of a muscle problem and we decided not to risk it. We are evaluating everything on the physical side, we have to grow on this level too. If we want to have intensity we have to be at the top and right now we are missing something.”

On the extent of the injuries…

“Tomorrow, we will evaluate the injured players.”

Juventus are up next and while Morata will be unavailable anyway due to suspension, Conceicao will surely want to have Pulisic and Thiaw at his disposal. As always, we will have to wait until tomorrow for proper answers on the discomforts.
