United States men’s national team forward Christian Pulisic is likely to recover from a lower back injury in time for AC Milan’s penultimate Serie A game this weekend.
Pulisic missed AC Milan’s match against Atalanta on Sunday, in another setback for the American player, who is suffering the longest goal drought of his career.
However, he trained with the rest of the Milan 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 will be at home against Cagliari the following week.

Pulisic has not scored in his last 17 league games since December 28. He has also gone goalless in eight games with the United States men’s national team.
Milan lost 3-2 at home to Atalanta on Sunday, leaving them at risk of failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The Rossoneri are fourth, the last qualifying place for the Champions League, tied on points with fifth-place Roma and just two above Como.
The United States has friendlies against Senegal on May 31 and Germany on June 6, then begins its World Cup campaign against Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood, California. The Americans will play Australia a week later in Seattle and conclude the group stage on June 25 at SoFi Stadium against Türkiye.
