Injury & trophy boost for Christian Pulisic! Timely return for USMNT star as AC Milan welcome American back to training

United States international Pulisic has not figured for the Rossoneri since limping out of a Serie A clash with Atalanta on December 6. He has sat out four games in all competitions, with Milan going unbeaten through those fixtures.

As a talismanic presence for the Italian giants, no risks have been taken on Pulisic’s fitness. He is, however, ready to form part of a new era for Milan as they prepare to take in their first game with new manager Sergio Conceicao at the helm.

The Rossoneri are preparing to face Juventus in the Supercoppa semi-finals on Friday, with the winners of that contest going on to tackle either Inter or Atalanta as major silverware comes up for grabs on Saudi Arabian soil.

Milan have been training in Riyadh, with it revealed that Pulisic was among those to be put through their paces. It has been confirmed that he is in contention to figure against Juve. The American has eight goals and five assists to his name this season.

Pulisic’s fellow countryman, Yunus Musah, is still working his way back from an injury of his own, with no decision made as yet on whether the 22-year-old midfielder will be fit enough to face Juventus. Milan will be eager to get their hands on a trophy after struggling for consistency as a collective of late.
