With Serie A returning after a lengthy international break, Lorenzo Bettoni and Matt Santangelo take a closer look at two USMNT stars who could play a significant role in the months ahead: Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie.

Both players have had frustrating starts to the season, with injuries disrupting their rhythm and limiting their contributions in the opening weeks. However, with fitness concerns largely behind them, the Milan and Juventus midfielders are expected to become increasingly influential as the race for Serie A and European places intensifies.

The discussion explores the similarities between Pulisic and McKennie, highlighting their versatility, tactical intelligence and ability to adapt to different roles for their respective clubs.

Lorenzo and Matt also assess why both remain key figures in their coaches’ plans despite injury-hit starts to the season.

Attention then shifts to Pulisic’s future at Milan. With the USMNT international under contract until June 2027 and the Rossoneri holding an option to extend his deal by a further year, the pair discuss what lies ahead for the former Chelsea star and whether his long-term future remains firmly tied to San Siro.
