    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Following incredible success at the Milan youth levels, the 15-year-old has impressed the Rossoneri boss to the point of where he is now in the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against Fiorentina. Three key attackers are set to miss the clash, and Pulisic himself is just now returning from injury, so a big opportunity has been presented to the youngster.

  • WHAT PIOLI SAID

    “Talent is ageless and Francesco surely has talent,” Pioli told a press conference. “Sometimes destiny creates some opportunities so we must be good at helping him. He is very young, but he’s already mature. He is happy to be with us and ready to help the team if needed.”

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    In their match against Lecce prior to the beginning of the international break, striker Olivier Giroud was sent off for a red card offense in the 93rd minute of the contest. On top of that, attacker Noah Okafor left the pitch due to injury too, with those two alongside winger Rafael Leao all set to miss the weekend's clash. With Milan in attacking limbo, both Pulisic and Camarda could debut, with the 15-year-old becoming a history-maker along the way.
