Pulisic: Key for USMNT Amidst Club Struggles
14 May
Summary
- Pulisic returned to AC Milan practice after missing a game due to back pain.
- He has not scored in his last 17 games, his career's longest goalless streak.
- The USMNT star is crucial for the upcoming World Cup campaign.
Christian Pulisic, a star for the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team, was seen practicing with AC Milan on Wednesday, providing a potential boost for their critical match against Genoa on Sunday. Pulisic had been sidelined due to lower back pain, which caused him to miss Milan's previous game against Atalanta. That match resulted in a 3-2 loss for Milan, impacting their standing in the race for next season's UEFA Champions League, as they are now tied with Roma for the final qualifying spot.
Despite his club's struggles, Pulisic has been in a prolonged scoring drought, failing to find the net in his last 17 appearances for AC Milan. This streak marks the longest goalless period of his career. As the World Cup approaches, the U.S. national team is relying on Pulisic to regain his scoring touch. The team has upcoming friendlies against Senegal and Germany before commencing the tournament against Paraguay on June 12 in Inglewood, California.
