Following a turbulent start to the new season, Graham Potter’s arrival has reinstilled the feel-good factor back at Chelsea. It’s probably no exaggeration to describe the situation as a new beginning. After all, Tuchel’s sacking and the change of ownership closed a chapter filled with incredible success, which fans will hold onto forever.
However, there remains one particular player who will likely be keen on opening a new chapter of his own after enduring a difficult few years at Stamford Bridge. Christian Pulisic’s time in West London has been overshadowed by a number of injury setbacks and a lack of game time, with the latter remaining a problem for the winger this season.
Pulisic has started just two of the Blues’ opening nine games, coming off the bench six times and not featuring at all against Aston Villa on Sunday. It’s a similar situation in the Champions League for the American, who was on the bench for the entirety of both AC Milan fixtures.
