SouthernWorldwide.com – Christian Pulisic, the star forward for the United States men’s national team, is expected to make a return from his lower back injury in time for AC Milan’s upcoming Serie A fixtures.
Pulisic was notably absent from AC Milan’s recent match against Atalanta on Sunday. This absence marked another setback for the American player, who is currently experiencing the longest goal drought of his professional career.
However, Pulisic participated in training with the rest of the Milan squad on Wednesday. This indicates he should be available for selection by AC Milan’s coach, Massimiliano Allegri, for Sunday’s game against Genoa. AC Milan’s final match of the current season will be at home against Cagliari the following week.
The forward has not found the back of the net in his last 17 league appearances, with his last goal coming on December 28th. His scoring struggles extend to the international stage as well, having gone scoreless in eight games for the U.S. men’s national team.
