Ruben Amorim plans to give Christian Pulisic minutes against Lazio
Summary

AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim confirmed that Christian Pulisic will play in the upcoming match against Lazio on Saturday. The 27-year-old American has yet to make an appearance this season after dealing with an injury sustained during the World Cup and a subsequent setback in training. Pulisic has remained an unused substitute during Milan's opening three Serie A fixtures, a situation the player has reportedly expressed frustration over. Amorim emphasized that his team selections are based on principles rather than reputation and maintained that Pulisic's return to the pitch will be gradual. Following the away match at Lazio, the team will turn its focus to the start of the Europa League campaign against Benfica on Wednesday. Milan currently holds a 2W-1D record in league play, including a draw at Juventus, as Amorim continues to build his squad model.
