Chelsea have dropped a major hint that Christian Pulisic will not be part of their touring party for the club's trip to the United States next month for pre-season. The American is one of the most popular and recognised players from the USA and has been a major marketing asset to the club during previous trips across the Pacific Ocean.
Pulisic was part of the group under Thomas Tuchel that featured in matches last year but has been unable to transfer his form for USMNT onto the pitch for Chelsea. In a second frustrating club season in a row, he only managed one goal in all competitions.
For his country he remains the front man, though, and ended a disappointing campaign with a brilliant CONCACAF Nations League victory, securing the trophy with a 2-0 win over Canada. Pulisic scored twice in the semi-final, setting up a monumental 3-0 win over Mexico.
