Great news for AC Milan and USMNT fans—Christian Pulisic is in the clear. After being held out of Milan's narrow 3-2 loss to Atalanta on May 10 due to reported glute muscle discomfort, the club has received reassuring test results. According to Italian outlets Corriere dello Sera and Milan News, scans have ruled out any injury, and the American star is now in contention for Sunday's Serie A clash against Genoa.

This update comes as a massive relief with the 2026 World Cup just a month away. Pulisic is expected to play a leading role for the U.S. on home soil, and any extended absence would have been a major blow. The 27-year-old has been a crucial leader for the national team, though he's currently working to snap an international scoring drought that stretches back to 2024.

On the club side, Pulisic has experienced a tale of two seasons. He lit up the first half of the campaign with 10 goals, but has since hit a rough patch—going a career-worst 17 straight appearances without finding the net for Milan. Still, his overall form remains strong, and this clean bill of health gives both Milan and the USMNT reason to be optimistic as the summer's biggest stage approaches.
