Former USMNT star Eric Wynalda says that Christian Pulisic demonstrated a good attitude as he played wing-back for Chelsea against Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday night.
Following Reece James' injury, which sees him ruled out of action for the World Cup, including England's game against the USA on November 25, Pulisic played in the unfamiliar role on the right flank in Austria on Tuesday. He took over James' role, putting in an assured display as he recorded an assist for Kai Havertz in the 2-1 win.
Pulisic has struggled for consistent game time under Graham Potter so far this season at Chelsea, but USMNT centurion Wynalda praised the 23-year-old for his attitude in the win. Wynalda was speaking to VegasInsider and compared Pulisic's positivity to that of Raheem Sterling who he said seemed more out of place in the wing-back role.
