Pulisic: Lack Of Play At Chelsea 'frustrating'

By Daily Sports on September 30, 2019

United States national team star Christian Pulisic called his lack of playing time at Chelsea "very frustrating" but vowed to keep working to break into Frank Lampard's lineup.

Pulisic, 21, was an unused substitute in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. It is the fourth time in five matches that the ex-Borussia Dortmund player has sat on the bench.

"Yeah, of course, it is very frustrating, but I will continue to work my hardest because I want to play," Pulisic told NBC Sports after the match.

Lampard opted to deploy Mason Mount, Pedro, Ross Barkley and Willian in support of striker Tammy Abraham. Callum Hudson-Odoi came on for Pedro in the 63rd minute and the Chelsea academy product made the most of his time on the field, leading a counterattack to set up Willian for Chelsea's second goal in the 76th minute.

Pulisic played earlier this week in Chelsea's 7-1 win over fourth-tier side Grimsby Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup competition, where he picked up an assist.

When asked if Lampard had given him any pointers on how to break into the regular lineup, the man from Hershey, Pennsylvania, said: "Not so much."

“He said to keep working and I have to improve myself in training and try to get back in the line up,” Pulisic added.

Lampard spoke about Pulisic in the run-up to Saturday's match saying that: "He needs time to adapt, but we support him on that ...His time will come.

“A huge part of any manager's job is to sit and work with the players – younger or older, but with younger players you want to pass on more knowledge and help them. (ESPN)
