Christian Pulisic pulls out of USA squad for friendly against Wales and is sent back to Chelsea for further treatment on ongoing hamstring problem in further blow to Frank Lampard

Christian Pulisic will miss USA's friendly against Wales on Thursday after being sent back to Chelsea from his national team camp for further treatment on an ongoing hamstring complaint.

The 22-year-old has been frustrated by an injury yet again this season, having made just three Premier League appearances for Frank Lampard's side so far in the current campaign.

The former Borussia Dortmund star was injured in the warm-up ahead of their 3-0 win at Burnley on October 31 and has not made the Blues squad since.
