Christian Pulisic has been encouraged to sacrifice money for playing time by former United States international Kasey Keller.
The USMNT captain has majorly struggled for minutes at Chelsea this season, limiting his preparation for the World Cup later this month.
Pulisic, whose career has been hampered by injuries, fell out of favor under sacked Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and there's been little change in the circumstances under new manager Graham Potter.
Keller, who won 102 caps for the USA between 1990 and 2007, believes Pulisic shouldn't waste his time sitting on the bench at Stamford Bridge.
