Pulisic could have become the main man for Chelsea. The Blues are currently struggling with their performances and injuries. Key players like Raheem Sterling and Armando Broja are also out due to injuries. Chelsea’s striker, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is also not contributing enough.
Hence, this was Pulisic’s best possible chance to become a focal point and help a struggling Chelsea squad. It remains to be seen if he can make a strong impact after he returns back from this injury.
