Chelsea manager Graham Potter praised Christian Pulisic for his contribution to the team so far this season, but said that the upcoming World Cup won’t affect his decision to play the U.S. men’s national team star.
Pulisic, whose future was uncertain during the last transfer window under former manager Thomas Tuchel, has only started two games this season for Chelsea. Since Potter’s arrival in early September, Pulisic has made one start and two brief substitute appearances (each only seven minutes).
However, the 24-year-old has recorded a goal and assist in his last two appearances for Chelsea.
