Pulisic return date set as Chelsea prepare to welcome star back
Christian Pulisic is not ready to step back into the Chelsea fold just yet, as they ready themselves for a Champions League clash with Rennes, but the American could come into contention to face Tottenham.
That is the plan to have been laid out by Blues boss Frank Lampard, who is currently in the process of conjuring up a winning formula for another European fixture, with Chelsea due in France on Tuesday.
United States international Pulisic will not be making that trip, as he continues to recover from a hamstring complaint, with Lampard reluctant to take any risks on a key man.
Frank Lampard speaks on his return:
“Christian stays back and doesn’t travel but the good news is that he has had aggression in the last week.
“The reason he has stayed back is to get some physical work in so hopefully that will have him ready for selection come the weekend and onwards.” Pulisic likely to return this weekend.
