London: Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic is likely to be out of action for around 10 days after picking up an injury on the left ankle.
However, due to Covid-19, Pulisic has missed Chelsea’s last two Premier League games and is projected to miss even more time, while N’Golo Kante is also out.
Pulisic got hurt during USMNT’s on Wednesday in the United States 4-1 win at Honduras in a World Cup qualifier when he dribbled into the penalty area tumbling over opposing defender Maynor Figueroa before somersaulted off both hands and landed hard.
“Unfortunately he came yesterday on crutches, and we have an ankle injury with about 10 days.” Blues Manager Thomas Tuchel added on Friday.
The 22-year-old will not be available for Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League fixtures against Aston Villa and Tottenham along with the side’s UEFA Champions League opener against Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
