Chelsea Suffer Pulisic Injury Blow

By Daily Sports on January 11, 2020

American star Christian Pulisic will be sidelined for weeks due to a "nasty" adductor injury, dealing a blow to his Premier League club Chelsea as they push for a Champions League place manager Frank Lampard said on Friday.

The 21-year-old United States captain suffered the injury prior to last weekend's FA Cup third round victory over second tier Nottingham Forest.

Pulisic has scored five times in 16 Premier League appearances in his maiden season for Chelsea since joining for £58 million from Borussia Dortmund.

However, he has not hit the target in the league since the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on November 9 and he admitted earlier this month he needed to be more clinical in front of goal.

“Pulisic will be out for a few weeks,” said Lampard at his press conference on the eve of Saturday’s home clash with struggling Burnley.

“He was injured in training the day before Nottingham Forest, it's an injury to his adductor, a tendon injury.

“It’s disappointing for us. We'll have to see how quickly he recovers as it's a nasty injury, he was in pain at the time.”

Lampard, whose side have a five point cushion over fifth-placed Manchester United, was not forthcoming as to whether there would be any new players brought in during the January transfer window. (SuperSport)
