Christian Pulisic will return for Chelsea when the Premier League restarts on June 17th. After suffering from an adductor injury at the start of 2020, the USMNT star will have benefitted greatly from the break.
Christian Pulisic did something no American player has ever done last year: not only did he smash the American transfer record with his $73 million move to Chelsea; more subtlety and yet more crucially, he was bought to be the centrepiece of a Champions League team’s attack. He is now playing at a level and with an expectation that far exceeds any U.S. Men’s National Team player before him.
