Returning to the venue where he scored a hat trick last season, Pulisic was in the Chelsea starting lineup but the Blues released this brief statement on the 22-year-old USMNT star.
“There’s a late change to our starting team. Timo Werner replaces Christian Pulisic and young goalkeeper Karlo Ziger is on the bench.”

Pulisic was rested for the UEFA Champions League trip to Krasnodar on Wednesday but caused havoc after he came off the bench to win a penalty kick, be involved in another goal and scored one himself.
After just returning form a long-term hamstring injury, Pulisic was having his minutes managed and this will be a blow to the USMNT winger who has become Chelsea’s top attacking talent among a host of star names.
With Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner around in the wide areas, Pulisic is undoubtedly the main man for Chelsea.
We will provide further details as and when, as Frank Lampard will no doubt give an update on Christian Pulisic post-game at Turf Moor.
