Christian Pulisic eyes return for AC Milan against Juventus

Christian Pulisic is poised for a potential return to action for AC Milan in the upcoming match against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. The American player is looking to move past a difficult period marked by a lack of goals in 2026, a scoreless World Cup, and an ankle injury that sidelined him throughout July.

After recovering and training with the group since early August, Pulisic has remained on the bench for the first two league matches against Torino and Venezia without seeing playing time. AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim has indicated a need to manage Pulisic's workload carefully due to his recent physical challenges, suggesting he may be introduced as a substitute rather than a starter.

The match carries psychological weight for Pulisic, as it marks his return to the stadium where he missed a crucial penalty during a Juventus-Milan fixture eleven months ago.
