Why Chelsea and USMNT star Christian Pulisic isn't playing against Arsenal in Pochettino blow

For the third time in a row Christian Pulisic has been left out of Chelsea's starting XI as Frank Lampard's side face Arsenal, failing to even make the squad for the trip to north London.

The American winger has struggled to cement his place under the 44-year-old but started against Brighton two weeks ago. He was left on the bench against Brentford despite his teammates being in need of a goal and didn't feature in either leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie with Real Madrid.

He is far from the only under-performing attacker this year but his return of just one goal in all competitions represents a new low, one that is not likely to change whilst he takes his place amongst the subs once more.
