The expectation was that he would come into contention for a Serie A opener against Torino at San Siro on Saturday. That looks to be the case, with Pulisic able to complete a full preparatory session alongside the rest of his team-mates.
DID YOU KNOW?
Pulisic was not held back by new manager Paulo Fonseca, with the American having to prove that he can line up from the start when Milan get a new campaign underway. He completed a number of drills, with a series of images on Instagram showing that his work was carried out with a smile.

There have been suggestions that Pulisic could be deployed as a No.10 by Milan this season, having thrived on the right wing last term. He posted a career-best return of 15 goals in 2023-24 and will be hoping to raise that bar again when it comes to end product and decisive contributions in the final third.
