Allegri: Pulisic, Rabiot sidelined 'until the next international break'

AC Milan will be without Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic "until the next international break", the Serie A club's coach Massimiliano Allegri said on Saturday.

France midfielder Rabiot and USA forward Pulisic were both injured on international duty, when the pair picked up respective calf and hamstring problems.

Allegri confirmed their absences in the pre-match press conference for Milan's match against Fiorentina on Sunday.

Milan do not have European football this season but will play five Serie A fixtures between now and the next international break in mid-November.

Rabiot, 30, and 27-year-old Pulisic have been two of Milan's standout performers in the early weeks of the season, with Allegri's team beginning the weekend two points behind joint leaders Roma and Napoli.

Pulisic has scored six goals and set up two more in league and cup matches this season, while Rabiot has struck up a fine midfield partnership with veteran new arrival Luka Modric.
