USMNT boss gives verdict on Christian Pulisic's role at Chelsea under Graham Potter

USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter has backed Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic to deliver ahead of this month's 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

With a chance to impress in the Middle East no doubt at the forefront of his mind, Pulisic is set to lead his team out against Wales on November 21 before matches against England and Iran in Group B.

Pulisic is considered the most obvious candidate to captain the USA in Qatar and is undoubtedly the most high-profile name in the squad in Europe and Berhalter believes the Chelsea man can play a vital role.
