Christian Pulisic helped USMNT to remain unbeaten at the start of World Cup qualifiers, but that came at a price. According to Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, the 22-year-old forward returned to the club “on crutches” and will be forced to miss several upcoming games as a result.

Pulisic got hurt during USMNT’s 4-1 dismantling of Honduras on Wednesday. He exited the game early in the second half and was visibly limping while heading to the sidelines.

Tuchel revealed during Friday’s press conference that Pulisic is dealing with an ankle injury and will be out for “about 10 days.”

The timeline means Pulisic should miss the Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Saturday, the UEFA Champions League group match against Zenit, and the London derby against Tottenham next week. His first game back could be the EFL Cup game against Aston Villa on September 22nd.

The injuries have been a recurring story for Christian Pulisic since he arrived at Chelsea in 2019. Various issues with hamstring and ankles kept Pulisic from making an impact in England and showcasing the talent that prompted the club to pay an $80 million transfer fee for his services.

Pulisic played a total of 79 games for Chelsea and scored 18 goals with 14 assists. He has one goal in two matches in 2021-22 so far.

United States star winger Christian Pulisic finally managed to end his goalscoring drought for Chelsea, netting in a 2-5 loss to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. This was his first goal under new manager Thomas Tuchel and also first since early December.

Pulisic actually opened the scoring, getting Chelsea in the lead in the 27th minute. After a free kick from left-back Marcos Alonso hit the post, the 22-year-old American collected the deflection and delivered a calm finish.

Unfortunately for Chelsea, things went downhill from there. Less than a minute later, Brazilian center-back Thiago Silva made a reckless tackle and earned himself a red card, leaving his team with 10 players. WBA used the opportunity and immediately struck back, scoring two before halftime.

Pulisic couldn’t help Chelsea found its way back, as he had to leave early as well because of an injury. He was substituted before the start of the second half after complaining about his hamstring.

The 2-1 lead obviously wasn’t enough for WBA, as they continued to attack and scored three more. Chelsea, on the other hand, didn’t do much and managed to add just one more thanks to Mason Mount.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Tuchel detailed the decision to substitute Pulisic.

“Christian did a sprint when he came back out for the second half and said that he felt his hamstring would not survive the game if he continued,” said Tuchel. “So we had to make the decision to substitute him straight away.”

While Premier League giants didn’t detail the full extent of Pulisic’s injury, he will reportedly be out for at least a week and is set to miss the upcoming Champions League clash against FC Porto.

Christian Pulisic has been dealing with injuries often since arriving at Chelsea in 2019, and it has been the same story this season. He was out for several weeks on multiple occasions, which caused him to have a hard time breaking into the starting lineup or playing extended minutes.

Pulisic played 29 games in 2020-21 in all competitions but clocked only 1.567 minutes on the field. He scored three goals and has two assists.

United States’ star Christian Pulisic is facing another spell on the sidelines. Pulisic is currently dealing with a hamstring injury and could be out for “weeks,” according to Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.

Pulisic got hurt on Saturday during warmups for the Premier League match against Burnley. The 22-year-old winger ended up missing the game, but despite his absence, Chelsea managed to get a convincing 3-0 win.

Speaking about Pulisic’s injury on Monday, Lampard said that the club is bracing for the scenario in which they won’t be able to count on one of their best players.

“He’s played three games, we’ve tried to manage him in the week, and it’s a small feeling in his hamstring so we’ll have to see how he is over the next 24 hours,” Lampard explained. “It’s a minor feeling that he had but definitely not right to go into 90 minutes of a game with that. Hopefully, it’s short term, we’re talking weeks.”

If Cristian Pulisic ends up missing multiple weeks, that could rule him out of the matches against Rennes in UEFA Champions League and Premier League duels with Sheffield United and Newcastle United.

Pulisic experienced hamstring issues at the start of the season as well, missing five games in Premier League and EFL Cup. He played five games in 2020/21 in all competitions and currently has one goal to show for.

USMNT and Chelsea star winger Christian Pulisic won’t return to the field just yet. Pulisic, who has been out since late December with leg muscle issues, has suffered an injury setback and will have his status re-evaluated following the winter break in Premier League.

The news was revealed to the reporters by Chelsea’s manager Frank Lampard. According to Lampard, the plan was to have Pulisic ready by the last week, but things didn’t work out in his favor.

“We tried to get him out there last week, step it up a little bit, but we had to pull out of that,” said Lampard. “The break might have come at a good time, it buys us a couple of weeks.”

Lampard also reiterated that the team misses Pulisic on the pitch, as he was in the middle of a great run before the injury.

“Of course, you miss him. He’s a quality player and he was having a really good patch pre-Christmas. Others have to stand up too, but of course we’ll be happy when he’s back,” he added.

Christian Pulisic made 16 appearances in Premier League in 2019/20, scoring six goals and adding two assists. He also scored one goal in four games in UEFA Champions League.

Due to injuries, Pulisic wasn’t a part of USMNT’s teams in recent months, having made his last feature in CONCACAF Nations League in early October.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Christian Pulisic became the youngest player to score 10 goals for the United States men’s national soccer team in Tuesday’s friendly against Chile, but that came with a hefty price.

The 20-year-old scored the opening goal against Chile in the fourth minute of the game but was then forced to leave the pitch late in the first half. This turned out to be USMNT’s only goal as the friendly ended with a 1-1 draw.
