Christian Pulisic starred for Chelsea for the third straight game, this time in Sunday’s 1-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Leicester City. Unfortunately, the American winger may also have gotten hurt again in the process.
“Christian felt a tightness in his calf in the second drinks break,” manager Frank Lampard said after the match, from which he yanked Pulisic in the 72nd minute. “Hopefully nothing that keeps him out.”
It was no surprise to see Pulisic back in Lampard’s starting lineup following his goal against Manchester City in Premier League play, his second in as many games.
