The United States international sat out the Rossoneri’s 3-1 friendly win over Monza on Tuesday. No risks were taken on his fitness in that fixture, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-injury-update-will-usmnt-star-miss-start-2024-25-season-ac-milan-ankle-problem/bltfdef466df4d6049f" target="_blank">25-year-old forward nursing a minor ankle complaint</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The expectation was that he would come into contention for a Serie A opener against Torino at San Siro on Saturday. That looks to be the case, with Pulisic able to complete a full preparatory session alongside the rest of his team-mates.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Pulisic was not held back by new manager Paulo Fonseca, with the American having to prove that he can line up from the start when Milan get a new campaign underway. He completed a number of drills, with a series of images on Instagram showing that his work was carried out with a smile.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt14de9aec9f70d892/pulisic%20train%202.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt14de9aec9f70d892/pulisic%20train%202.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt14de9aec9f70d892/pulisic%20train%202.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Christian Pulisic training team" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt14de9aec9f70d892;width:450;height:607"></picture>
