Winger missed November international break through injury
WHAT HAPPENED?
Photos posted on Instagram showed the USMNT winger playing on a grass surface, while training in Milan gear. Pulisic picked up a knock in the final minutes of the Rossoneri's 2-1 victory over Kylian Mbappe and PSG in the UEFA Champions League. Now, ahead of a return to Serie A action at the weekend, the forward has posted that he's back in training – seemingly confirming that he's avoided any sort of serious injury.

Without Pulisic, Milan drew Lecce 2-2 on November 11, the day before the international break kicked off. It's a big boost for the Rossoneri ahead of the weekend to have the forward in contention, as he seems to be an important puzzle piece in their success of late.
DID YOU KNOW?
In the six matches that Pulisic has either scored or assisted in this season, Milan have not lost once, and have only settled for a draw on a single occasion too. Will the former Chelsea man extend that streak this weekend?

Club football returns this weekend with Milan hosting Fiorentina in Serie A. The status of Pulisic's fitness is still unknown, but seeing him in training has to be a positive for Stefano Pioli's side. If the USMNT winger isn't ready he'll be hoping to make his return on November 28, when his former club Borussia Dortmund come to town in UCL action.
