Christian Pulisic is on track to make his highly anticipated return for AC Milan as they prepare to clash with Juventus in the Italian Super Cup semifinals this Friday. After recovering from injuries to his calf and ankle, the U.S. international is back and ready to contribute to his team's success.

Pulisic has been a standout player for Milan this season, boasting an impressive record of five goals and four assists in Serie A, along with three goals in the Champions League. His absence due to a calf muscle tear nearly a month ago, followed by a brief ankle issue, has been felt throughout the squad as they aim to secure silverware in this prestigious tournament.

Adding to the excitement, there’s a possibility that Pulisic’s fellow American teammate, Yunus Musah, will also be fit to play, creating a unique scenario where four U.S. players could be on the field simultaneously. Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie are both expected to feature for Juventus, making this match a must-watch for fans in the U.S. and beyond.

In a surprising twist, the Super Cup will also be the debut match for AC Milan's new head coach, Sérgio Conceição, who recently took the reins after the departure of Paulo Fonseca. Interestingly, Conceição’s son, Francisco, is a winger for Juventus, adding a familial rivalry element to the encounter.

Despite the father-son dynamic, the elder Conceição is focused on the task at hand. "I just have a cold and had a fever these days. If you see my eyes are a little shiny, it's because of that. At home, I’m his father, but on the pitch, it's all business," he declared. "I want to beat him, just as he wants to beat me. I hope to make it a challenging match for him."

In the other semifinal, Inter Milan secured their spot in the final with a victory over Atalanta, further intensifying the stakes of this year's Super Cup.

Soccer fans around the world are eagerly counting down to kick-off as this exciting matchup promises thrilling action, high stakes, and the potential for the emergence of new heroes. Don’t miss the chance to witness history in the making!
