While his teammates continue preparations abroad, the American star is staying in Italy as the club carefully manages his recovery from the injury he suffered during the United States' World Cup campaign. Christian Pulisic has officially returned to Milanello following his extended post-2026 World Cup break, marking the beginning of an important phase ahead of the new Serie A season. While his teammates continue preparations abroad, the American star is staying in Italy as the club carefully manages his recovery from the injury he suffered during the United States’ World Cup campaign. The winger’s return comes with optimism despite the physical setback that ended his tournament. Milan remains confident that one of its most influential attacking players will be ready to make an impact early in the new campaign, although the club is taking every precaution before clearing him for competitive action. Pulisic arrived at Milanello on Thursday morning, one day later than originally scheduled after being granted additional time by the club for logistical reasons. He underwent the customary medical examinations before beginning individual work aimed at rebuilding his fitness after the injury sustained during the World Cup. The American international is not traveling with the Rossoneri on their preseason tour of Australia, instead remaining at the club’s training center to focus entirely on rehabilitation. Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez also returned to Milanello as he continues recovering from his own ankle injury suffered while representing Mexico.

According to The Athletic, the injury occurred when the American attempted a shot before colliding with Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans. Although Pulisic initially tried to continue playing, he was eventually forced off the field after struggling with the pain. “I just totally twisted my ankle and my knee in one play,” the 27-year-old explained after the match. Subsequent medical examinations revealed a bone bruise and a microfracture in his right leg, specifically around the tibia-fibula junction, with earlier Italian reports also describing a microfracture to his right fibula. Doctors reportedly believe the injury requires weeks rather than months of recovery, offering encouragement ahead of the domestic season.

Italian outlets including La Gazzetta dello Sport and MilanNews report that the initial phase focuses on rest before gradually introducing rehabilitation exercises and individual training sessions. The winger is currently working separately from the main squad while recovering from bone edema around the tibia-fibula junction. The club has deliberately avoided placing unnecessary pressure on one of its most important attacking players. Instead of rushing him back into full training, Milan intends to increase his workload only when medical staff are fully satisfied with his progress. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan. Despite the cautious approach, there is growing confidence that Pulisic could be available for Milan’s opening Serie A fixture against Torino on August 23. Reports suggest new head coach Ruben Amorim expects the American to remain one of the team’s key attacking figures this season. However, neither the coaching staff nor the medical department is willing to compromise his long-term condition simply to accelerate his preseason preparations. Italian media indicate the club is even prepared to delay his return beyond the opening weekend if addit

Roberto De Zerbi appears to have taken a subtle dig at Cristian "Cuti" Romero, amid his possible departure from Tottenham. Roberto De Zerbi didn’t hold back when discussing the wave of transfer speculation surrounding his Tottenham squad, delivering a pointed message that landed squarely on Cristian “Cuti” Romero‘s situation, even if it wasn’t asked with him specifically in mind. Speaking on a press conference from Auckland, New Zealand, where Tottenham are set to play a preseason friendly against Auckland FC, the Italian coach made clear he has no interest in keeping players around who don’t want to be there. Technically, De Zerbi‘s comment was prompted by a question about Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who’s reportedly pushing for an exit of his own in search of more regular minutes. But the message applies just as directly to Romero, whose name has been increasingly tied to a move away from North London this summer. “I’ve been very clear since the start of my time at the club. I’ve already said that whoever doesn’t want to stay at Tottenham, whoever isn’t happy, whoever doesn’t feel proud to be here, has to leave. I want proud players, who go out onto the pitch with motivation,” De Zerbi said. Cristian Romero celebrates a goal for Tottenham. (Getty Images) With Romero now reportedly in active talks over a potential move to Inter Milan, De Zerbi’s comments read less like a passing remark and more like a signal to the squad: anyone whose heart isn’t fully in Tottenham won’t be forced to stay. Where do Romero’s negotiations with Inter Milan stand? According to Italian outlet SportMediaset, Inter Milan already have a contract prepared for Romero, a three-year deal worth €5 million per season. The report indicates Inter’s front office has been in contact with both Tottenham’s management and the defender’s representatives, laying the groundwork for a potential move. Romero, who previously spent time in Italian football with Genoa and Atalanta, is said to be open to a return to Serie A, and formal negotiations between the two clubs could get underway in the coming days. Romero’s move that didn’t sit well with the Tottenham fanbase One reason behind Romero’s potential exit from England could be that his relationship with Tottenham’s fanbase has reportedly cooled in recent months. That shift became more pronounced after the Argentine defender, while sidelined with injury, traveled to Argentina to attend the Torneo Apertura final between his boyhood club Belgrano and River Plate — on the very same day Tottenham were fighting for their Premier League survival. It’s not the first time Romero’s future at the club has come into question, but that episode marked a clear turning point in how supporters view his commitment.
While the club prepares for a demanding summer that includes matches across Europe, Asia, and Australia, the American winger remains on the sidelines. Christian Pulisic will not feature when Milan begins its 2026 preseason schedule with a friendly against Celtic, leaving supporters eager to see when the American star will make his first appearance under new head coach Ruben Amorim. With several key players also unavailable after the summer’s international commitments, the club heads to Glasgow with a youthful and experimental squad. The absence of Pulisic immediately became one of the biggest talking points surrounding Milan’s preseason opener. While the club prepares for a demanding summer that includes matches across Europe, Asia, and Australia, the American winger remains on the sidelines. Milan travels to Celtic Park for its first official preseason friendly of the summer on Saturday, July 25, providing Amorim with his first opportunity to test his ideas against outside opposition. The Italian club already played an internal training match against Milan Futuro, winning 7-0, but the meeting with the Scottish champion represents a much stronger challenge. Celtic is considerably further along in its preparations, making the match an important early examination for Milan’s new tactical system. Why Pulisic isn’t playing The reason behind Pulisic’s absence is straightforward. The United States international remains on post-World Cup vacation and is not scheduled to report back to Milanello until July 29. Milan released a return timetable showing that Pulisic, alongside Santiago Giménez, will rejoin training next week. Although vacation is the immediate reason Pulisic is unavailable against Celtic, the American is also recovering from an injury suffered during the World Cup. According to The Athletic, Pulisic sustained a bone bruise and microfracture in his right leg during the United States’ Round of 16 defeat to Belgium. The injury occurred when he attempted a shot and collided with Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans. After initially trying to continue, Pulisic was eventually substituted. “I just totally twisted my ankle and my knee in one play,” the American explained following the match. Subsequent medical examinations revealed a bone bruise and microfracture, though doctors believe the recovery will require weeks rather than months. Milan taking a cautious approach Italian reports indicate Milan has no intention of rushing one of its most important attacking players back onto the pitch. La Gazzetta dello Sport and MilanNews report that the recovery process begins with rest before rehabilitation gradually replaces the 27-year-old’s normal preseason training. The club’s primary objective is to have him available around the opening Serie A fixture against Torino on August 23, though no unnecessary risks will be taken. The reports suggest the Rossoneri may even delay his return slightly if additional recovery time improves his long-term condition. With an intense opening schedule awaiting the club, Amorim prefers having a fully fit Pulisic rather than forcing an early comeback.
