The 26: Projecting USA's Roster, Lineup 4 Months Before 2026 World Cup Opener

Available versus Pisa Pulisic (hip) "has resumed training fully the other day and is an option for Friday, but he has about 15/20 minutes in him," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Pulisic will return after nursing a nagging hip injury, but is far from 100 percent and will at most come off the bench. Two among Christopher Nkunku, Rafael Leao, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Niclas Fullkrug will start up front. Pulisic has gone scoreless in his last five showings, posting 14 shots (six on target), six chances created and seven crosses (three accurate).

Pulisic, McKennie, Balogun Up Top: USA's Best World Cup Lineup?

Ruled out for Tuesday Pulisic hasn't been called up for Tuesday's fixture versus Bologna, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Pulisic didn't do enough in training on the eve of the game to earn a late fitness test and won't make the trip. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku might get the nod up front, as Rafael Leao and Niclas Fullkrug aren't 100 percent and could be fielded off the bench.

Questionable for Bologna tilt Pulisic "is dealing with a bursitis in his hip, and we'll see how he feels on game-day," coach Massimiliano Allegri relayed.

Impact Pulisic was limited in training in the lead-up to the match, but the gaffer left the door open to at least call him up for Tuesday, depending on his sensations closer to the tip-off. Christopher Nkunku has better chances of making the XI even should Pulisic be cleared.

AC Milan saved by Genoa's missed penalty in dramatic 1-1 draw

AC Milan has missed the chance to close in on Serie A leader Inter Milan as it drew 1-1 with Genoa

JANUARY 8 • Associated Press

Mostly managed in Cagliari bout Pulisic (thigh) recorded one shot (one on goal), drew one foul and had nine touches in Friday's 1-0 win over Cagliari.

Impact Pulisic subbed in late as he's tending a minor thigh issue and had a chance to seal the deal with a shot from an angled position, but Elia Caprile answered the bell. He'll have about a week to improve ahead of the next match, but Milan might remain cautious to avoid more serious injuries. He has fired one or more attempts in nine showings in a row, totaling 14 (10 on target) and logging seven goals, two assists and nine key passes over that span.

Bench option Friday Pulisic (thigh) is on the bench for Friday's visit to Cagliari.

Impact Pulisic is likely not fit enough to play significant minutes given that he was questionable until one day before the match. Therefore, Rafael Leao will get the nod this time. Still, Pulisic may be impactful even with limited involvement, having scored three goals over his previous four appearances as a substitute.

Not entirely fit Pulisic "trained regularly Thursday but has been dealing with a thigh issue, and we'll have to evaluate his status for Friday," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Pulisic should be available but has trained on the side for a couple of days because some scar tissue in a thigh muscle flared up, causing some discomfort, so he might be managed, also considering the upcoming busy schedule. The manager hinted that only one between him and Rafael Leao (thigh) would start since neither is fully fit.
