You could tell by the devastated look on Christian Pulisic's face as he was limping off the Stamford Bridge pitch – he knew just how big of a blow it was for him on a personal level.
For a man who has fought so hard to get himself back in the first-team picture at Chelsea, to pick up an injury in a game that was his third successive start in the Premier League, it must be very damaging mentally. Pulisic was replaced midway through the first half in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday evening and he looked as if he was crying as he left the pitch.
A superb last-ditch tackle from City defender John Stones unintentionally injured Pulisic and despite his best efforts, he was unable to continue. It's yet to be confirmed, but the American could be set for a spell on the sidelines with the problem – adding to Chelsea's ever-growing list of injuries.
