For those hoping to see if Christian Pulisic‘s impressive run of form will continue against the Premier League‘s fourth best team, well, flip a coin.
Over on Premier Injuries, Pulisic is listed at 50% probability to play vs Manchester City.
Pulisic injured his hip after scoring in Chelsea’s last game vs Crystal Palace. The injury has caused him to miss the USMNT‘s two CONCACAF Nations League matches against Canada and Cuba.
After the Palace match, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said:
The only frustration is he comes off with a bit of an injury- he has got a bit of a hip issue. I am hoping it’s not too bad because the way that he is at the minute is great to see.
The American is currently being assessed. The good news for Pulisic fans is his playing status has improved from 25% to 50% over the past few days. Ross Barkley is also listed as 50% for the City showdown.
Pulisic scored his fifth Premier League goal of the season in Chelsea’s last match against Palace. His previous record for a domestic season was four goals, which he achieved twice in the Bundesliga at Borussia Dortmund.
