There is certainly one major positive for football players having all this time off, those with injuries have been allowed the time fully heal and let their muscles recover.
This will be an absolute godsend for one of Chelsea’s most expensive players, Christian Pulisic. The USA international had been struggling with reoccurring injuries before the break in play and as a result, his Chelsea career was stuttering.
We had seen signs of his pure brilliance on numerous occasions, but he was unable to create any consistency due to the injuries. Now he is fully fit and ready to go again after recovering whilst in lock down, and this will hopefully be the second chance of starting his Chelsea career.
Blues fans are as eager as he is to see him out playing on the pitch again after watching his moments of brilliance this season.
And Pulisic feels great, as reported by China.org.cn, Pulisic said:
“I’m feeling great. Right before this pandemic happened I was actually back in training and feeling really good and ready to go.
“It was really unfortunate timing. As soon as I felt like I was back, now this has happened. It is what it is. Now I just have a bit more time to get it completely right and be 100 percent ready once I’m back.”
