Christian Pulisic pulls up injured at the FIRST CONE after coming out to warm up for Chelsea, forcing him to miss the second half of their defeat by West Brom with a hamstring problem (and leaving Thomas Tuchel unimpressed)

Thomas Tuchel was forced into a last-minute change ahead of Chelsea's second-half against West Brom, when Christian Pulisic immediately pulled up with an injury during the warm-up.

The German manager suffered his first Premier League defeat with the Blues who were left stunned after a 5-2 loss to West Brom.

With Chelsea down 2-1 at half-time, Tuchel had planned to replace Timo Werner with Mason Mount.
