  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Musah was given another 84 minutes of Serie A action in Milan’s latest outing, and he helped them to a welcome 1-0 victory over Fiorentina. Theo Hernandez scored the only goal from the penalty spot, but USMNT stars Musah and Christian Pulisic played their part in the collection of three hard-earned points.

• WHAT MUSAH SAID

  Milan had gone four games without success in the Italian top flight, but are now up to third in the table and hoping to build momentum again after an unfortunate dip that led to uncomfortable questions being asked of title-winning coach Stefano Pioli. Musah has defiantly said on social media: “Back on track.”

  Musah is, however, about to get off that track as he will not figure in Milan’s next fixture. The Rossoneri are due to play host to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday. Musah will be forced to sit that game out as he must serve a ban for collecting three yellow cards in European competition this season.
