Christian Pulisic expects to play for AC Milan against Lazio Saturday

AC Milan manager Rubin Amorim stated that Christian Pulisic will likely see the pitch during Saturday's match against Lazio. The midfielder has been an unused substitute through the club's first three Serie A fixtures this season. Pulisic previously suffered a bone bruise and microfracture in his right leg during the 2026 World Cup, followed by a separate knock upon returning to training. Amorim noted that while the 27-year-old is upset about his lack of playing time, his competitive response is a trait the manager values. AC Milan currently maintains a 2-0-1 record, and the staff is prioritizing squad rotation ahead of a busy upcoming schedule. Following the Lazio match, the club faces Benfica in a UEFA Europa League fixture on Wednesday before the international break.
