Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic To Be Sidelined For Months

On the day Chelsea announced the arrival of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid, the Premier League club disclose that Christian Pulisic will be sidelined longer than expected.

Earlier today, Chelsea’s manager, Graham Potter confirmed that American forward Christian Pulisic will be sidelined for months.

Naija News recalls that when Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Manchester City in the Premier League, Pulisic left the game in the first half due to a knee injury.

Potter first predicted that the USA international would be out for a few weeks, but the subsequent evaluation has resulted in a significant alteration in the expected period of Pulisic’s comeback.

Nevertheless, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s availability for Thursday’s trip to Fulham is good news for Chelsea’s striker options.

There is hope that Raheem Sterling’s injury won’t be as serious as Pulisic’s when Chelsea resumes their Premier League campaign on Thursday.

Ahead of the league game which will kick off at Craven Cottage at 21:00, Graham Potter said: “Pierre is fine and he will be in the squad. Christian is a couple of months we think. Raheem is less, hopefully, less than that.”

Due to Chelsea’s poor form so far this season and the number of injured first-team players, the club is currently occupying the 10th spot with 25 points in 17 games, ten points away from the top four.
