Frank Lampard refuses to rule Christian Pulisic out of Everton clash but insists he's a 'work in progress' due to hamstring issues ahead of upcoming busy Christmas schedule

The US international had already missed 10 matches this season before he was left on the bench for Tuesday's Champions League draw with Krasnodar.

Pulisic also suffered an injury-ridden first year in English football but, when fit, has proven himself to be one of Chelsea's most potent attacking weapons.
