Chelsea’s Pulisic Issues Injury Update Amid Graham Potter Woes Ahead of Upcoming Match

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has made a much-anticipated return to the club’s training sessions for the first time since being sidelined with a knee injury in early January. The American star had been out of action after picking up the injury during a collision with Manchester City’s John Stones.

Pulisic’s absence prevented him from potentially securing a January move away from Stamford Bridge, as his injury ruled him out of action for an extended period. Despite the setback, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly’s lavish spending spree during the transfer window has ensured that manager Graham Potter has ample attacking options at his disposal. Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke all joined the club, with the signings creating further uncertainty around Pulisic’s future at the club.

The 24-year-old American’s contract is set to expire in the summer, leaving the Blues with a decision to make on his future. The new arrivals at the club have added to the pressure on Pulisic to perform and contribute more goals to the team. With just three goals in their previous nine matches, the team’s recent performances have highlighted the need for an attacking spark.

Despite making only three goal contributions this season and facing limited game time under both Thomas Tuchel and Potter, Pulisic could still play a crucial role for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign. As the clock ticks down on his contract, the next few months could prove to be critical in determining his future at Stamford Bridge.
