Christian Pulisic can take advantage of Graham Potter U-turn at Chelsea

Christian Pulisic has been handed a fresh Chelsea lifeline after he returned to the pitch on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund. The American had gone two months without playing due to injury but picked the perfect time to get fit again, having the last laugh against his former employers at Stamford Bridge.

His season, much like his career in London, has been stop-start and largely frustrating but there is reason to be positive for the 24-year-old. Although he has been widely tipped to leave the club in the summer, with less than 18 months on his contract, there is still a chance for him to turn around his Premier League career.

Graham Potter, who took over from Thomas Tuchel in September, has given Pulisic five of his six league starts this season, with the USMNT winger only playing 156 of a possible 540 minutes under the German boss before he left the club. He was also getting into the swing of things before his last injury too.
