United States striker Christian Pulisic is on track to recover from a lower‑back injury in time for AC Milan’s penultimate Serie A match, according to a report released by ESPN Soccer. After missing the team’s recent 3‑2 loss to Atalanta, Pulisic returned to training on Wednesday and is expected to be available for Massimiliano Allegri’s squad against Genoa this weekend.

The American forward’s injury came amid a 17‑match goal‑drought that has put his scoring form under scrutiny as the 2026 World Cup approaches. Milan’s final home fixture will be against Cagliari, but the club currently sits fourth in the table, tied on points with Roma and just two spots above Como for the last Champions League qualification spot.

On the international stage, the U.S. men’s national team will face Senegal on May 31 and Germany on June 6 before opening the World Cup group stage with Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood. The squad will then travel to Seattle for a match against Australia and finish Group A with a game against Türkiye at SoFi Stadium on June 25.

Pulisic’s return is a welcome boost for both his club and country as they prepare for the high‑stakes fixtures ahead, and his fitness will be closely watched by fans eager for his performance on the world stage.
