Pulisic Set for Competitive Return Against Lazio

AC Milan's American winger Christian Pulisic is set to return from injury against Lazio on Saturday, marking his first competitive action of the new season. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a micro-fracture and bone bruise in his right leg during the USMNT's Round-of-16 loss to Belgium at the World Cup.

Pulisic was an unused substitute in AC Milan's opening three Serie A matches, but head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed that he will feature against Lazio. Amorim spoke positively about Pulisic's eagerness to get back on the pitch, describing his impatience as a desirable trait.

Pulisic arrived at AC Milan from Chelsea in 2023 and had an immediate impact, delivering double-digit goal contributions in his first two seasons at San Siro. His return is expected to add a dimension to the attack that the team has been missing in its opening fixtures.
