The USMNT winger has been waiting patiently for his first competitive minutes under Ruben Amorim, but there is still something standing between him and a return to the starting XI. Christian Pulisic’s frustrating start to the 2026-27 Serie A season is set to continue, with the Milan star starting today’s clash with Lazio from the bench. The USMNT winger has been waiting patiently for his first competitive minutes under Ruben Amorim, but there is still something standing between him and a return to the starting XI. For Pulisic, the situation is becoming increasingly unusual. He has been named in Milan’s squad for all three league matches so far but has not played a single minute, and Saturday’s trip to the Stadio Olimpico is expected to extend that wait into a fourth consecutive game. Pulisic returned to group training after a difficult summer, but his comeback has been carefully managed. The 27-year-old endured multiple physical problems during the 2026 World Cup, including a bone bruise and microfracture around his right tibia and fibula, which limited him to 224 minutes across four appearances for the United States. His return to Milan training was also interrupted by another knock, meaning he has not had the kind of uninterrupted preseason preparation Amorim would have wanted. That has made his absence from the starting lineup easier to understand, although it has still been frustrating for a player who previously established himself as one of the Rossoneri’s most important attacking figures. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan looks on The numbers from last season underline how much his consistency had already been affected. Opta recorded 30 Serie A appearances and 1,611 minutes for Pulisic in 2025-26, compared with 34 appearances and 2,489 minutes the previous season. The real reason Pulisic is starting on the bench The mystery surrounding Pulisic’s absence becomes clearer when Amorim’s comments are taken into account. The Milan coach has repeatedly stressed that the American is being managed carefully following his injury problems, rather than being pushed aside because of a lack of confidence in his ability. “Pulisic is back from injury. I’m managing him. For now, Alpha is taking his place,” Amorim explained, referring to 19-year-old Alphadjo Cisse, who has taken advantage of Pulisic’s absence. 🗣️🇵🇹 | Ruben Amorim was asked how Pulisic is and if he likes him:“You’re going to see Pulisic tomorrow. He’s going to play some minutes now. I like Pulisic. Pulisic is upset at the moment, because he has 0 minutes, and I love that. He’s ready to play. Let’s not forget that he… pic.twitter.com/Nnqk3nsbaJ— Milan Matters (@MilanMatters) September 11, 2026 Amorim has also made it clear that Pulisic’s reputation will not automatically put him ahead of a teammate who is performing well. “I won’t remove anyone who’s doing well just to name a player. This is my way of managing the group, and I’ll die with these principles,” the Portuguese coach said. That is the central reason Pulisic is starting on the bench against Lazio: his recovery is being managed while Cisse has earned the opportunity to keep his place. Cisse has scored twice in Milan’s opening three league matches, giving Amorim little reason to disrupt a player who has responded so well to his chance. Amorim actually likes Pulisic’s frustration There is, however, an important positive for Pulisic. Amorim has admitted that the American is unhappy about his lack of playing time, but rather than viewing that frustration negatively, the coach sees it as evidence of the competitive mentality he wants from his players. “Pulisic is upset at the moment because he has zero minutes, and I love that,” Amorim said. “I love that in my players. But he’s ready to play.” Christian Pulisic of AC Milan shoots whilst under pressure against Lazio The coach also confirmed that the winger should finally see action against Lazio, even if he is not given a starting role. “I think you guys are going to see Pu
Micah Richards believes Chelsea have sold an ‘absolutely amazing’ player (Photo: YouTube) Micah Richards has backed one of the players sold by Chelsea last summer to become ‘one of the top strikers in Europe’. There was great upheaval at Stamford Bridge over the summer as Xabi Alonso rebuilt the squad, with a whopping 20 players leaving permanently or on loan. One such player was Nicolas Jackson, who moved to Aston Villa in a deal worth an initial £47.5million, which could rise to £65m. That’s despite the Senegal striker recording an impressive 30 goals and 12 assists in 81 games for the Blues, winning the Conference League and Club World Cup.

He was exiled by Enzo Maresca last year and loaned to Bayern Munich, a move that backfired greatly on Chelsea as his direct replacement Liam Delap flopped and the club slumped to 10th in the table. It was thought Jackson might make a comeback under Alonso, but the new manager did not give him a chance, a decision that Richards suggests might come back to haunt him. ‘I’m going to say something quite controversial: I think Jackson is absolutely amazing,’ the Manchester City icon said on The Rest is Football. Nicolas Jackson joined Aston Villa in a deal worth up to £65m (Photo: Getty) ‘Chelsea didn’t keep him. He goes to Bayern. Obviously, he’s not going to play ahead of Harry Kane. ‘But watch his hold up play. Watch his movement. It’s just that little bit at the end, that composure. ‘Everyone’s just fascinated with stats and goals or assists or whatever. But if you actually use your eyes to watch the game, he’s got so much ability on the ball. Jackson won the Conference League and Club World Cup at Chelsea (Photo: Getty) ‘His touch around the corner, his awareness when to run in behind, when to drop deep, link up. He’s got everything. ‘If he could work on just finishing, that composure when he gets into that final third, I think he could be one of the top strikers in Europe. That’s how highly I rate him. ‘His debut season at Chelsea, he got 14 Premier League goals. In your first season, at a club that’s going through change, and he came to Chelsea when he was 22, that’s not a bad number.’ Has Xabi Alonso made a big transfer mistake? (Photo: Getty) Richards comments come after Jackson bagged his first Villa goal in a Champions League win at Club Brugge. He can help get the Villans’ Premier League campaign up and running on Saturday when they host Nottingham Forest. The 25-year-old has a tough task on his hands replacing Ollie Watkins, but Gary Lineker ‘totally agrees’ with Richards that he has the potential to make it to the top. ‘It’s raw talent and it’s just whether you can turn that into consistent ability to finish,’ the England legend said. ‘He gets a little bit excited in front of goal and that is obviously the most important thing. ‘He’s quick, he can hold it, he moves well. It’s just that final thing, but that is also the most important thing. You’ve got to have a calmness to you in front of goal but it’s good start for him.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
