“Against Cuba, it is a nice home game in DC, we want to show everyone what this young group is about and what we can do and what we are looking like going forward. It’s a really big time for us. I think Canada should be really exciting as well because they have a good young team too. I’m excited.”
When asked whether he feels the international break has come at the right time, Pulisic said, “When I go there [the USMNT], I want to get minutes and gain more international experience. It can only help me here at Chelsea.”
The USMNT face Cuba on Friday 11 October and then travel to Toronto to play Canada on 15 October.
Pulisic has been settling into life at the London club since having signed for them from Borussia Dortmund in January.
