Christian Pulisic has been handed a big boost ahead of his potential return to the field for Chelsea against Borussia Dortmund. The USMNT star was confirmed as being fit to be included in the matchday squad once more, the first time he has been made available since January 5.
The injury picked up early against Manchester City ruled him out of a key sequence of fixtures and now Pulisic is set for a return he has added competition to the squad. Both Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix were new additions to the Champions League squad, making the cut ahead of Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke.
Pulisic, who was at risk of being removed from the squad due to his injury, made it through the selection process himself with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being the unfortunate party in this instance. The American has cut his recovery fine, or timed it extremely well, to be back for the reunion with his former club.
