Pulisic left out by USMNT but set for more minutes at AC Milan
Christian Pulisic was left out of the latest United States men's national team squad, marking a notable absence for the American star. The omission is likely to benefit him at club level, where AC Milan are expected to give him increased minutes and a more prominent role. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between club and country schedules, with Pulisic potentially using the international break to rest and refocus ahead of Milan's upcoming fixtures.
Read the full story at nytimes.comBeing omitted from a national team squad is rarely a cause for celebration, but for Pulisic the timing could work in Milan's favor. Without the physical and travel demands of an international window, the American winger arrives at Milanello fresher and available for a heavier club workload. For Milan, the narrative shifts from whether Pulisic fits the system to whether the staff can capitalize on a rare stretch of uninterrupted preparation. It also reignites a familiar debate: how should a player of Pulisic's standing balance national team duty with the demands of a top Serie A schedule?
