Background

Christian Pulisic is the most prominent player in US men's football, a winger who came through Borussia Dortmund's academy and became the first American to win the Champions League, with Chelsea in 2021. Now at AC Milan in Serie A, he has been more consistent than in his Chelsea years but carries a history of injury disruption that shadows every selection decision.

Pulisic's goal drought has passed 100 days without a club goal: his last AC Milan strike was 28 December 2025 against Hellas Verona, and he came on as a substitute in Milan's 1-0 defeat to Napoli on 6 April without scoring . Internationally, he was substituted at half-time against Portugal on 31 March , his eighth consecutive USMNT game without scoring , while his last international goal remains from November 2024 . He leads Mauricio Pochettino's squad with 82 caps.

The 100-day drought arrives with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil built entirely around Pulisic as the attacking focal point. The USMNT conceded seven goals across the March friendlies, and with Tyler Adams injured and the squad showing defensive vulnerability, the question is whether Pulisic can rediscover scoring form in the May friendlies against Senegal (31 May, Charlotte) and Germany (6 June, Chicago) before the opening group match against Paraguay on 11 June.

How the World Sees Them

AC Milan

A 100-day club goal drought overlapping with international camps has sharpened scrutiny of Pulisic's fitness and form. Milan must manage his workload in Serie A ahead of a World Cup that will expose him to the heaviest international calendar of his career.

United States

Pulisic is the closest thing US Soccer has to a generational talisman. The 100-day drought and eight-match international blank have raised real questions about whether one player can carry a squad that conceded seven goals in two March friendlies.

World Cup opponents

Pulisic is the one US player that opposing defensive structures are designed to contain. The March footage showing him substituted at half-time without scoring will inform how group-stage opponents — Paraguay, England, and Turkey — plan to neutralise the US attack.
