Christian Pulisic has given a clear indication of his heightened frustration at playing a bit-part role under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.
The 22-year-old was expected to start against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi final on Wednesday after his impressive first leg performance and goal.
However, he cut a disgruntled figure as Tuchel instead opted to begin with Kai Havertz and Pulisic was given the last 25 minutes from the bench.
Pulisic still managed to make an impact as, after Chelsea missed a number of chances, he played a decisive role in setting up Mason Mount for his side’s crucial second in the 2-0 win.
