Graham Potter gives timescale on Raheem Sterling return
Chelsea faced Manchester City in the Premier League on Thursday, January 5 and suffered a 1-0 defeat as Riyad Mahrez scored the only goal of the game.
Sterling was replaced just a few minutes into the game, meanwhile, Pulisic was forced off at the 22nd minute.
On Sunday, the Blues faced City again in the FA Cup 3rd round and after suffering a 4-0 defeat, Graham Potter’s side were eliminated from the tournament.
Following the game, Potter was asked to provide an update on Sterling and Pulisic as well as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed the clash.
“Christian opened up his knee in the game the other day. We’re still sorting of analysing it but it’s going to be weeks I would say for him. Raheem had an action in the first minute of the game, a back heel that was a bit strange and felt something in his hamstring. Again we’re analysing that. Aubameyang had a tight back yesterday so was unable to travel,” said Potter.
Later the Chelsea manager was asked about a timescale on Sterling.
“No, not at the moment,” Potter added.
