Major injury boost for Chelsea as a key star inches closer to return ahead of crucial Tottenham clash

Christian Pulisic in contention to feature for Chelsea this weekend

According to the Express, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has confirmed that Christian Pulisic will be in contention to feature this weekend.

The American winger has struggled with injuries and had missed the club’s last five games. With us set to take on table-topping Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, his return is well-timed.

“Christian Pulisic is back fit at the weekend.”

Pulisic has joined the USMNT camp despite being injured

Pulisic was arguably our best player last season if not our strongest offensive asset. Having him play alongside our summer acquisitions could turn us into a formidable outfit going forward.

Pulisic has made 39 appearances for us so far, scoring 12 goals and assisting 10 more. The major concern remains not his performances but the ability to keep him fit. (h/t Transfermarkt)

Lampard admitted recently that the club is still looking to ways to find a solution for the player’s injury woes.

Lampard and Mourinho are set to go head to head once again

The match against Tottenham can be considered a potential six pointer between two title challengers. With Jose Mourinho in charge of Spurs, the game has yet another layer of intrigue.

Lampard did the double over his former boss in the league last season. Willian played a crucial role in both victories.

With him no more at the club, Lampard will hope that the Brazilain’s successor in the number 10 jersey, Pulisic, will have a similar impact. As we have seen, he is certainly capable of doing so.
