As reported by Metro, Christian Pulisic is a major doubt for Chelsea’s clash with Aston Villa after suffering an ankle injury while on international duty with the United States. It’s been a nightmarish year for Pulisic, 22, after an impressive end to the 2019/20 campaign, with a series of niggling muscle injuries limiting his involvement for Chelsea last season.

Pulisic also tested positive for Covid-19 last month and missed the Blues’ last two Premier League matches against Arsenal and Liverpool as a consequence.

The winger returned to action to play the full 90 minutes of the USA’s 1-1 draw with Canada in World Cup qualifying and continued his run in the side as the Stars and Stripes thumped Honduras 4-1 in San Pedro Sula.

But the former Borussia Dortmund attacker was substituted just after the hour mark following a strong challenge from Honduras defender Maynor Figueroa.

Pulisic lay on the ground clutching his left ankle for some time and appeared in some discomfort as he made his way off the pitch to be replaced by Cristian Roldan at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano.
