WHAT PIOLI SAID ABOUT PULISIC
Having played and scored in his team's Europa League win against Slavia Prague during the week, Pioli felt the USMNT star would benefit from a bit of a rest. He said after the game: "I saw [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic were a little tired. It's normal because we had played 72 hours ago. So we needed freshness and the players who came in gave it to us."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Pulisic is now on a run of scoring in four consecutive matches for the Rossoneri – the best form of his senior career so far. His goal against Verona saw him join Weston McKennie as the joint-top scoring American in Serie A history.
