Talking about injury, I think it is not fair to say he looks like the glass. Ziyech should be the concern, not Puli. He plays better and better in the game. It's not one or the other - both are made of glass. Pulisic will be out soon enough again unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Chelsea have confirmed that Christian Pulisic was missing from their win at Sheffield United due to family issues. The American superstar was not included in the 20-man squad for Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Bramall Lane on Sunday and many Chelsea and USMNT fans feared that Pulisic had picked up another injury. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Pulisic was given time off to handle some family problems. “Christian has some family issues to solve, and family is always first, so we decided to give him a rest,” Tuchel said. Everyone at ProSoccerTalk sends our best wishes to Pulisic and his family. What is the future for Christian Pulisic at Chelsea? Pulisic will be a big part of Chelsea’s squad under Tuchel, that much is clear already. The USMNT star was given his professional debut by Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and knows him extremely well. Tuchel already told ProSoccerTalk how much he loves working with Pulisic and trusts him, and the German coach is eager to get the American star in the best positions possible. After starting Tuchel’s first three games in charge of Chelsea on the bench, Pulisic has made a big impact when he’s come on and he’s played in a slightly different position. Pulisic revealed he played as ‘a kind of false striker’ as he came on at half time to inspire a 2-0 win against Burnley, as he assisted the second goal late on and went close to scoring on several occasions, then also went close to scoring against Tottenham when he came on in a similar role. With Timo Werner, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi playing extremely well in Tuchel’s first few games in charge, it will be tough for the USMNT star to force his way into this Chelsea starting lineup. But his history with Tuchel and his form last summer suggests he can become a key member of the side as Chelsea are pushing hard for the top four after three wins and a draw from Tuchel’s first four games in charge. https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2021/02/08/pulisic-news-Chelsea-issue-update/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Lee 47 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I think he is not in Tuchel's XI. Not now, not in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXL70 396 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Mount, Werner, and CHO are performing better. They are all first choice for Tuchel. But at the some point, he will need to rotate the team and Pulisic will get its chance to prove himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Robben was probably even more injured, but he could immediately make an impact for the teams he played for. Pulisic on the other hand always needs some weeks to get back to his level and this time he apparently needs some months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some maybe longer. For example, when the football restarted in June last season, Pulisic immediately found his form from the get-go after his injury and sustained it till the end of the season. But based on how he's doing this season, that feels like a purple patch because he's been back long enough to stop being a ghost in the team.

I don´t hope so, he constantly gave me Hazard vibes last summer. As for now, I have my doubts about him, but I wouldn´t write him off yet, he is only 22 years old. He might be much more stable against injuries in say 3 years. ZAPHOD2319 and Fernando 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul 1,615 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) He's injured again, he needs to be sold in the summer. Look at his injury history on transfermarkt.com, it is an absolute joke. Add this to the fact that the amount of times he is rested because of a risk of injury, is not counted in the injury records on transfermarkt. So it does not even tell the full story. The guy is simply too unreliable, and if we can get a proper cheap replacement, then I'm up for it. Edited February 19, 2021 by Azul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just said he stopped training yesterday after feeling something in his calf to make sure he doesn't get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nothing big, but he is still not available for a game due to not being fit. It doesn't matter how we word it, he is not available for a game due to him having issues with his body. In my opinion this will not stop given his injury history as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get what you mean but the ironic thing is, given we have so many options now and the back 3 system that Tuchel is currently playing, Pulisic's absence impact feels minimal.
