The United States men’s national team will be without star player Christian Pulisic for the upcoming November friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay. For fans asking why is Pulisic not playing for US? Here’s why.

Pulisic is still recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered while playing for the USMNT against Australia on Oct. 14. The U.S. national team and Pulisic’s club AC Milan have made an agreement to keep the 27-year-old forward in Italy for the November international window.

The Polish midfielder opened his 2025–26 league account with what can only be described as one of the finest goals of the season — and, perhaps, one of the most aesthetically pleasing strikes in recent memory.

Christian Pulisic wasted no time getting back on the scoresheet, netting a goal in AC Milan’s 2-0 victory over SSC Bari in the opening match of the Italian 2025/26 season.

The win came in the Coppa Italia, with the rossoneri kicking off their campaign at home in front of an enthusiastic San Siro crowd.

A Christian Pulisic goal and assist vs Bologna secured AC Milan a 3-1 comeback victory at San Siro on Friday as the American continued his best club season of his career.

Friday’s Serie A matchup saw ninth-placed Milan struggle as has been the case for most of the season, however a late push inspired by Pulisic led the Rossoneri to three points.

With Milan trailing 1-0 late in the second half, Pulisic assisted his Mexican teammate Santiago Giménez to get Milan level.

CBS Sports analyst and former American soccer player, Mike Grella, has called out Christian Pulisic for not being more 'selfish' when it came to taking AC Milan's penalty kick during their tough 2-1 loss to Napoli on Sunday.

The match, which saw the Rossoneri drop to ninth in Serie A, featured a controversial moment when Pulisic (perhaps the club's most efficient penalty taker) handed the ball to Santiago Gimenez, who ultimately missed the spot kick.
