'He’s so hungry to play': Frank Lampard admits he's treading a 'fine line' in bid to get Christian Pulisic back after hamstring injury... as he fears star winger could break down again

Frank Lampard admits Chelsea are treading a ‘fine line’ over the fitness of Christian Pulisic, with the Chelsea boss carefully managing his winger’s recovery.

The USA international is nearing a return to fitness, having missed the start of the season due to a setback in his comeback from a hamstring injury.

Pulisic is back training and Lampard expects him to be in contention in the next week or two.
