American forward Christian Pulisic is likely to recover from a lower back injury in time for AC Milan’s penultimate Serie A match this weekend.
Pulisic missed AC Milan’s match against Atalanta on Sunday, another setback for the American player, who is enduring the longest goal drought of his career.
However, he trained with the rest of Milan’s squad on Wednesday and should be available for selection by Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri for Sunday’s match in Genoa. Milan’s last game of the season is at home to Cagliari the following week.
Pulisic has not scored in his last seventeen league matches since December 28. He has also remained scoreless in eight games for the US.
Milan lost 3-2 at home to Atalanta on Sunday, putting them at risk of not qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
The Rossoneri are fourth, the last qualifying place for the Champions League, level with Roma in fifth place and just two above Como.
The US has friendlies against Senegal on May 31 and Germany on June 6, before starting their World Cup campaign against Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood, California. The Americans play Australia a week later in Seattle and close the group stage on June 25 at the SoFi Stadium against Turkey.
