It has been a while since everyone in the Premier League played a meaningful match, but for Christian Pulisic, the wait has been even longer.

His last official action came on New Year's Day, and since then his time has been spent in a seemingly endless wait. First, there was the adductor injury, the effects of which lasted longer than Pulisic or manager Frank Lampard anticipated, turning what originally was a minor, couple-week injury into a multi-month setback.
