Christian Pulisic, the American soccer player for AC Milan, returned to training with the Rossoneri on Wednesday after missing their last match due to bursitis. The 27-year-old's availability for Friday's Serie A fixture against Pisa remains uncertain, but his presence in training suggests he could be ready to play.

Why it matters

Pulisic's return is a significant boost for AC Milan as they chase league leaders Inter Milan in the Serie A standings. The USMNT star has been a key player for the Rossoneri this season, contributing 10 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances across all competitions.

However, reports from Italy indicate that the American forward returned to training normally on Wednesday, February 11, raising hopes that he could be available for Friday's match against Pisa.
