Summary
Christian Pulisic has rediscovered his scoring touch at last. The American netted against Lecce on Sunday after a lengthy barren spell, capping a recovery that began with an assist in the Lazio match. Mauricio Amorim's switch to a 4-2-3-1 has allowed Pulisic to operate as a central attacking midfielder, a role that suits his strengths far better than his previous position.
With the international break ahead, Milan will use the time to build his fitness further before a demanding run of fixtures resumes in October. Tuttosport reports that contract renewal negotiations are expected to intensify, with owner Gerry Cardinale keen to tie down one of the club's most commercially valuable players in the United States market.
