After inconsistent performances in the 2026 World Cup with the USMNT, Christian Pulisic is preparing to compete for his future at AC Milan. While some resting time will be needed, the 27-year-old star is getting ready to train in the preseason tour with the Rossoneri's new Ruben Amorim's project. Christian Pulisic managed to become as the cornerstone of AC Milan. Despite the lack of strikers, he managed to shine under Massimiliano Allegri during the first half of the season. However, he experienced a notable decline in form, going many matches without scoring. Following his inconsistent 2026 World Cup performances, the 27-year-old star looks to regain his best version in the Rossoneri with Ruben Amorim. After already completing the 2025–26 season with AC Milan, Christian Pulisic will have a period of rest following the 2026 World Cup. However, the USMNT star will not return to action until August 2026, when he begins preseason. As announced by the Rossoneri, they will travel to Jakarta to face Chelsea FC at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Saturday, August 8. Even though Pulisic began the season as AC Milan‘s best player, he suffered a notable drop in form. After playing 34 matches, he managed to score only 10 goals and provide 4 assists, going through the second half of the season with almost no goal contributions. While the 27-year-old star was expected to shine with the USMNT, he had a inconsistent impact, raising doubts. Pulisic faces huge test after inconsistent World Cup Following an inconsistent season with AC Milan, Christian Pulisic arrived into the 2026 World Cup, looking for a decisive performance. However, he had a calf injury that affected his performances, limiting him during the tournament. During the four games that he played, he just contributed one assist, playing just a couple of minutes. Fot that reason, the USMNT now faces a huge task at AC Milan. Christian Pulisic #10 of the United States looks on as he walks off at the end of the first half Due to his poor end to the season, the reported interest from numerous Premier League clubs gradually faded. In addition, Pulisic found himself in a worse position to renegotiate his contract extension with the Rossoneri, as he did not shine during the 2026 World Cup. Because of this, he needs to recover his starting role under Ruben Amorim, the new head coach. Unlike the last season, AC Milan are reportedly preparing a roster overhaul, targeting strikers, midfielders and even defenders. In case he does not manage to shine in the preseason, his future might be unclear, losing his privileged spot that he had under Massimiliano Allegri. However, head coach Ruben Amorim supposedly considers him a cornerstone in the wings, similar to Francisco Trincao’s role at SP Sporting.
With the countdown to the 2026-27 Premier League fixture release well and truly on, we asked for your stories of opening-day games - both good and bad - that have stuck in your minds most. The first half didn't last long in the memory, but at half-time we introduced new signing Grant Ward, who we had bought from Tottenham for about £500,000. Louis: My worst opening-day memory is being all over Liverpool only to then go and concede two goals against the run of play in August 2024.
Set to face Ivory Coast for France's first pre-World Cup friendly, coach Didier Deschamps addressed Kylian Mbappe and William Saliba's status. Didier Deschamps has already turned his full attention to the 2026 World Cup, with France entering the tournament as one of the favorites after reaching the last two finals. With the opening pre-tournament friendly just around the corner, the head coach weighed in on the fitness and mindset of both Kylian Mbappe and William Saliba. Both players closed out the 2025-26 club season on a difficult note. Mbappe endured a trophyless year at Real Madrid and faced sustained criticism from the club’s own supporters, while Saliba, despite being a cornerstone of Arsenal’s Premier League title triumph, was left to process the disappointment of the Champions League final defeat and a late injury setback that has been a source of concern for Les Bleus. Asked about Mbappe at Wednesday’s press conference, Deschamps was emphatic in his support of the captain: “Listen: Kylian is in great shape. Physically and psychologically. I talk with him, and he has also had the chance to speak with the players because he is the captain. I will tell you again: there are the clubs, okay, but the national team is different. Kylian has an experience that the others don’t. This is his third World Cup, and a World Cup is difficult. He is doing very well.“ On Saliba and the back injury that has kept him sidelined, the coach was more measured. “William is doing well. If we had needed to play on Thursday, he would have played. But he will not play. I will be required to manage the playing time, to distribute it, even if that goes against our collective chemistry. All 26 players are in good condition. This preparation match is a stepping stone, with another one coming up in four days against Northern Ireland.“ 𝗗𝗲́𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀 ! Les Bleus affronteront la Côte d’Ivoire demain à 21h10 sur TF1 🇫🇷🇨🇮 pic.twitter.com/gSE6o9AD3M— Equipe de France ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) June 3, 2026 France‘s first pre-tournament friendly is set for Thursday, June 5, against Ivory Coast at the Stade de La Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau in Nantes. Deschamps has spoken highly of the Ivorian side, describing them as one of the best national teams both in Africa and globally, a challenge he expects will put Les Bleus through their paces. When it comes to the lineup, France are expected to field a strong side with Mbappe set to start, while players who featured in the Champions League final are likely to be managed carefully with limited minutes. With Saliba ruled out of Thursday’s match, Deschamps is expected to pair Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate at center back, with Jules Kounde on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left. Deschamps already thinking about his World Cup starting XI With the 2026 edition marking Deschamps’ final World Cup as France’s head coach after taking charge in 2012, the opportunity to close his tenure with a third title would be the ultimate send-off for a squad reaching its peak. Drawn into Group I alongside Senegal, Norway and Iraq, widely regarded as the tournament’s most difficult group, Les Bleus are guaranteed a stern test from the very first game. With fewer than two weeks until the tournament opener against Senegal on June 16, Deschamps acknowledged that he already has a starting XI in mind, even if he is not ready to reveal it. “Of course I have it in my head. Yes. But you never know. There will be two matches between now and then, and things can happen too. They all want to be starters. We will be vigilant about the frustration that this can create. Also, due to the specific conditions in the United States and the gap between each match, we will gather other insights. You, too, might have a little idea,” he said.
