Good news for Chelsea / Christian Pulisic fans: he may actually face Manchester City afterall.
At today’s pre-match press conference, Frank Lampard updated Pulisic’s status:
“He had a problem going into the last game against Crystal Palace. He was struggling a little then and that’s why he came off after his goal. Christian has been training again this week with us and he’s in contention for the weekend.”
Over on Premier Injuries, his hip flexor strain shows to be in playable condition. Pulisic is listed at 100% for the weekend.
