Christian Pulisic could be handed his first minutes of the season when Milan travel to face Juventus, most likely from the bench, according to MilanNews.
The American has been an unused substitute in both of Milan's games so far, with Ruben Amorim managing his workload after a stretch dominated by fitness problems. His World Cup was cut short by the same issues that have shaped his 2026, and Milan have felt the absence of a player who once carried a real share of the attacking output.
The wait for a return to form has dragged on. Pulisic has not scored for Milan since 2025, and injuries rather than performances have defined his recent months, with the national team included in that run.
The trip to the Allianz Stadium carries a personal edge. Pulisic missed a penalty in Turin last season, and after a goalless 2026 in Rossonero colours, he arrives looking to put both behind him. A cameo off the bench is the likeliest way in.
Amorim's approach explains the caution. He has been clear that he intends to control Pulisic's minutes for the time being, unwilling to rush back one of the players he rates most highly and risk a longer setback. That plan is not changing this weekend, but it does not rule out an appearance.
For a Milan attack still waiting on him, even 20 minutes in Turin would be a step forward from watching from the sidelines. From here, the length of the leash is Amorim's call.
