Why Christian Pulisic is missing Tottenham vs Chelsea clash as USMNT sweat on fitness

Christian Pulisic is once more not in the squad for Chelsea as they take on Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday. It's the 10th game he has missed in a row since suffering knee damage early on against Manchester City.
