Christian Pulisic vows to 'hit the ground running' for Chelsea after his first full Blues pre-season

Christian Pulisic believes he has laid the groundwork for a big season at Chelsea, with the American finally completing pre-season for this first time as a Blue.

The winger ended 2020-21 strongly after missing the start of the campaign through a hamstring injury he suffered in the FA Cup final, winning over Thomas Tuchel and staking his claim for a regular starting spot.

A Covid scare for the European champions forced the end of their Ireland camp four days early this summer, but Pulisic is still delighted with his fitness.
