Chelsea striker Pulisic delighted after returning from injury

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is feeling good after his return from injury.

Having returned as a substitute against Crystal Palace before the international break, the American has started two games in four days.

Speaking after Tuesday's goalless draw with Sevilla, Pulisic said: "Fitness-wise I feel great.

"I'm getting back to where I was, I feel strong, I feel like I can play 90 minutes, and I'm happy."

Pulisic was unable to impact the scoreboard against Sevilla, but hopes he can build on the performance moving forward.

"It's everyone's job to be behind the ball at times," added Pulisic.

"We have to help out defensively. Going away from the game with a clean sheet will give us some confidence. It's not bad for the guys.

"We have got to find the balance [between defence and attack]. We want to create more chances; I want to help with that. We are going to continue to work to improve as a team."
