Will Christian Pulisic play in AC Milan vs Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League?

AC Milan begins its journey in the UEFA Champions League after an outstanding season in the last edition, where they reached the semifinals, only to be painfully eliminated by their staunch rival, Inter Milan. The Rossoneri team is going through a strange moment, since they started the championship in a perfect way with 3 victories in the first 3 games. However, on matchday 4 they fell precisely against Inter Milan by a large score of 5-1.

This defeat has caused tremendous anger on the part of the fans towards coach Stefano Pioli. This is because he is the coach who has lost the most derbies in the club's history. However, the team wants to forget the bad moments and start from scratch in their favorite competition. Milan is the second-highest winner of the UEFA Champions League and hopes to emulate what was achieved in the last edition. However, he will have to go through a complicated group.

The current rival for AC Milan on matchday 1 of the group stage is the English team, Newcastle United. The Magpies return to the European Cup after many years. Eddie Howe's men arrive after a season where they were in the Top4 and now, with some reinforcements, they hope to surprise the group. In fact, Sandro Tonali, a Milan player who was sold this summer to Newcastle, will be present at said match.

Will Pulisic be the starter in this match?

Christian Pulisic is a player who started the season in a great way. However, in the last match the Italian coach did not like his performance at all. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Stefano Pioli considers starting this match with the Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze, due to the rival's playing style on this occasion. Pulisic would be relegated to the bench, although he is expected to have minutes in the match. At the moment, it remains to be confirmed what Pioli will end up deciding, but it is the most likely scenario.
