Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic told to stop getting injured so frequently

Christian Pulisic has been urged to solve his fitness issue.

The USMNT winger missed a total of 42 matches due to injury in the last two seasons.

He has been repeatedly found on the treatment table and started only one Premier League game this season.

Craig Burley explains how the 23-year old needs to solve this issue before a making potential move away from Stamford Bridge in the near future.

“Pulisic’s issue, for me, is clear. It’s not a talent issue. This is a fitness issue for him,” said the former Chelsea man.

“Before he starts thinking or anyone else starts thinking where he’s going to go or what he’s going to do, he has to solve this.

“The more injuries you pick up, the more off-putting that is to potential suitors.

“So, he has to solve this fitness issue to start with and get consistency. Once he does that, he can get game time and then he takes it from there.

“But, the most important thing for him is crystal clear, he has to have a six-month period minimum for Thomas Tuchel to select.

“That, over the last couple of years, hasn’t happened.”
