After spending 44 days on the sidelines, the American attacker is back among his teammates, although there is still some uncertainty over whether he will be involved this weekend. Christian Pulisic has taken a major step toward returning to competitive action for Milan, rejoining full group training just days before the club opens its Serie A campaign against Torino. After spending 44 days on the sidelines, the American attacker is back among his teammates, although there is still some uncertainty over whether he will be involved this weekend. The timing is encouraging for the Rossoneri, particularly after a difficult pre-season in which several important players have been unavailable. Pulisic’s return gives the club another attacking option, but one important question remains before the trip to Turin. According to MilanNews, Pulisic has returned to full team training at Milanello, with his comeback coming only two days before the Serie A opener. The American has recovered from the injury he sustained during last month’s Club World Cup, when he suffered a microfracture and bone oedema in the tibia and fibula of his right leg. The American winger had originally been expected to miss around four to six weeks, making his return to group work a significant milestone. After 44 days away from the squad, the 27-year-old is now back training alongside his teammates, putting him firmly on course to return to match action. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan warms up before the Serie A match. The images from training also offered further encouragement, with Pulisic pictured smiling alongside teammates during a rainy session. His presence suggests that his recovery has progressed well enough for him to resume normal work with the group rather than continuing on an individual rehabilitation program. Milan faces huge decision over Torino Despite the positive development, Pulisic’s availability for the season opener is still uncertain. The factor now sitting between his return to training and a place in the squad is whether Ruben Amorim believes he is ready to be involved in a competitive match so soon after his injury. MilanNews adds that the decision will be made before the match, meaning Pulisic could still have a chance of traveling with the team. However, given the nature of his injury and the length of his absence, the team will have to carefully weigh the benefits of an early return against the risk of pushing him too quickly. Even a limited appearance could be useful if the coaching staff decides that he is ready. A 20-to-30-minute cameo from the bench could give Pulisic valuable minutes while allowing Milan to avoid placing too much physical demand on him immediately. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan. Return that could come at the perfect time Even if Pulisic does not make the squad against the Turin side, his return to full training means the wait for his comeback is almost over. He should be in a much stronger position to feature in Milan’s following match at San Siro, provided he continues to respond well to the increased workload. There had previously been reports that Pulisic could return around August 28, but his return to group training has accelerated hopes that he can contribute earlier. Milan will have no reason to rush him, especially with a long Serie A campaign ahead.
Cristian Romero was presented as a new Atletico Madrid player, where he addressed Julian Alvarez and the situation he's currently going through. Cristian “Cuti” Romero was officially presented as a new Atletico Madrid signing on Thursday, having missed the club’s 2026-27 LaLiga opener, a 2-0 win over Malaga in which a section of Atletico supporters directed chants at teammate Julian Alvarez over his links to Barcelona. The Argentine defender, who arrived after leaving Tottenham, addressed the situation for the first time as he faced the media in his unveiling. Asked about Alvarez, Romero didn’t hesitate to back his compatriot. “I see Julian doing very well. I arrived five days ago and he’s the same as always, a guy eager to keep scoring goals and entertaining people,” he said, adding that his teammate remains “very locked in,” a focus that Romero said makes him happy given everything going on around him. Romero‘s comments came just a day after Diego Simeone was asked about the same chants and gave a far more guarded response, saying only that he respects the club’s fans without addressing Alvarez’s situation directly. Club president Enrique Cerezo struck a similarly supportive tone to Romero’s, insisting Alvarez was never for sale and predicting he’ll win the fanbase back within a couple of matches. 21 🔴⚪🇦🇷️ pic.twitter.com/h28C3Y085T— Atlético de Madrid (@Atleti) August 20, 2026 With Alvarez back in individual training and expected to be available for Atletico’s next match against Villarreal on Sunday, Romero’s public show of support adds another voice pushing back against the tension between the forward and a section of the fanbase, even as the club insists the Barcelona saga is now firmly behind them. Cuti Romero on his own arrival at Atletico Madrid Beyond addressing Alvarez’s situation, Romero also opened up about what led him to Atletico Madrid in the first place. The 27-year-old joins after five seasons at Tottenham Hotspur, a spell in which he became a key figure for the club, eventually earning the captaincy and winning the 2024-25 Europa League, before Atletico agreed a €40 million deal with Spurs that ties him to the club through 2031. He’ll wear the number 21 shirt for his debut season under Simeone. “I’m very happy to join this huge club, and I know I’m coming in with the same mentality as always: trying to leave my name written into the history of this beautiful club,” he said, echoing the same ambition that defined his time in England.
Atletico Madrid fans chanted against Julian Alvarez, and coach Diego Simeone didn't defend the player amid the situation. Atletico Madrid kicked off their 2026-27 LaLiga campaign with a 2-0 win over Malaga, though Julian Alvarez‘s situation still found its way into the conversation at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. The Argentine forward, whose future at the club has been thrown into doubt amid persistent links to Barcelona, didn’t feature in the match as he continues working toward full match fitness, and a section of Atletico supporters didn’t hold back their frustration with him, with chants targeting the striker ringing out from the stands. Asked directly about the chants after the match, Diego Simeone chose not to come to his player’s defense. “I respect our fans very much,” the Argentine coach responded shortly during the press conference, declining to elaborate further or address Alvarez’s situation at the club. The brief, pointed response did little to calm the situation. Rather than distancing himself from the supporters’ behavior or backing his forward publicly, Simeone’s answer was widely read as tacit approval of the fans’ anger, deepening the sense that the relationship between Alvarez and the Atletico faithful may have reached a breaking point. 🗣️ “There were some isolated chants from a very specific section of the fans insulting Julián Alvarez…”.🔴⚪️ Diego Simeone: “I’m very respectful toward our people”. pic.twitter.com/BjxVcEI8hX— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 19, 2026 Alvarez appears set to stay at Atletico this season Despite the tension and noise surrounding him, Julian Alvarez appears increasingly likely to remain at Atletico Madrid through the rest of the transfer window. The Argentine was back on the training pitch on Thursday as part of his individual fitness program, and Diego Simeone could hand him a place in the squad for the club’s next match, against Villarreal on Sunday, August 23. Adding to the sense that his Barcelona move may no longer be on the table, reports indicate the Catalan club have shifted their attention toward Lautaro Martinez as a fallback striker option, a move that would effectively close the door on any imminent deal for Alvarez.
