Christian Pulisic’s season has already swung from injury frustration to derby brilliance, and now back into uncertainty again — and coach Massimiliano Allegri has added another layer of intrigue.

Christian Pulisic scores another decisive goal for AC Milan; Lionel Messi’s name unexpectedly enters the conversation; and Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, two giants of U.S. soccer history, appear in total agreement about something that once divided opinion.

n Pulisic has shaped Milan’s season with the kind of influence that changes the direction of a title race, so when news broke of a new problem just days after his dramatic derby heroics, suspense filled Milanello again.

As the Derby della Madonnina approaches, the question overshadowing Milan’s preparation is simple yet charged with suspense: Will Santiago Gimenez recover in time?

After weeks of reports describing the situation as “on stand-by” due to uncertainty around Champions League implications, Milan and its fans have now received an encouraging update.

The United States meets Uruguay in a high-profile international friendly, yet the conversation refuses to center on tactics, form, or lineups. It revolves instead around Christian Pulisic, who will not feature for the USMNT tonight.

Christian Pulisic is 27, thriving in the red and black of Milan, yet the whispers around him grow louder: could he one day follow Lionel Messi to Major League Soccer?

Christian Pulisic’s name sits at the top of the U.S. men’s national team conversation once again, but this time because he will not be on the pitch when the United States meets Paraguay at Subaru Park.
