Pulisic returns to Chelsea training after injury
Christian Pulisic has resumed training with Chelsea ahead of a weekend match at winless Newcastle, the English Premier League club said Thursday.
The 23-year-old Pulisic has not featured since Aug. 14, when he scored in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace to open the league season.
The American forward injured an ankle while on international duty in early September against Honduras — his sixth significant injury in his two-plus years at Chelsea.
The injury was only expected to keep him out for 10 days, but a series of setbacks has kept him out much longer, including missing all the U.S. matches during the October international window.
