Christian Pulisic, widely celebrated as “Captain America,” is set to return to AC Milan’s starting lineup in Serie A under head coach Sergio Conceição this Sunday against Parma. After battling a series of muscle issues that sidelined him for matches against Como and Juventus, Pulisic appears to have put those setbacks behind him and is ready for action.

His brief appearance during the final 15 minutes of Milan’s Champions League win over Girona earlier this week offered a promising sign of his recovery, paving the way for his return to a pivotal role with the Rossoneri.

According to Tuttosport, Conceição is preparing to feature the USMNT star in the starting XI as Milan seeks critical points in the Serie A standings during Matchday 22.

Will Pulisic play for AC Milan in Serie A?

Conceição aims to unleash a dynamic attacking trio made up of Pulisic, Rafael Leão, and Álvaro Morata as Milan looks to secure a much-needed victory to climb back into European qualification spots.

Pulisic’s return couldn’t come at a better time for Milan, as the team faces a defining stretch in its season. Following Sunday’s clash with Parma, Milan will face Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday in a decisive Champions League fixture. A win would secure Milan’s progression to the next round, while anything less could force them into a tense play-in round under the new competition format.

The challenges don’t stop there. On Sunday, February 2, Milan will host Inter at San Siro in a highly anticipated rematch of the recent Italian Super Cup. The derby represents a crucial opportunity for Milan to maintain their momentum and move closer to solidifying a place in next season’s European competitions.
