Pulisic is the Rossoneri's top scorer this season with 10 goals across all competitions, including a penalty in their Supercoppa Italiana victory over the Bianconeri earlier this month.

However, the United States international will not be available to face Juve in Serie A, after a knock forced him off at half-time during Tuesday's win over Como.

Earlier in the match, a raucous crowd gave the Chinese players full support as they faced a formidable Pakistan. The game started slow with both teams struggling to find space in each other's defence. However, China kept control of the ball and made more attacks than Pakistan.

SAARI Faizal of Malaysia scored two goals for his side, while SAARI Fitri added another, and ANUAR Akhimullah opened the scoring in the first quarter.

Nevertheless, Conceicao insisted it is more of a precaution to prevent the midfielder from aggravating his problem, having not long returned from a calf injury.

"Pulisic is out, I don't want to bluff," the Milan boss told reporters during his pre-match press conference.

"He still has some discomfort, I don't want to risk it. It's nothing serious, but if he plays 20 minutes, he risks making his situation worse, and I don't want that."

Seventh-place Milan, who are unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions, can leapfrog Juve to fifth with victory at San Siro.

"There is balance, they are two strong teams," Conceicao added. "Two teams that have very interesting players, but all the matches are different. Tomorrow, we have to face a team that played a good match against Atalanta [drawing 1-1 on Tuesday].
