Christian Pulisic hands Chelsea injury boost

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is set to be fully fit after the international break.

Pulisic suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring problem which is proving more stubborn than first thought.

Pulisic underwent a scan on the strain and even took part in light training but is only just inching towards a first team return.

He suffered a hamstring injury in the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal in August.

The 22-year-old was set to start Chelsea's game against Burnley a week ago before pulling out before kick-off.

The £58million star has not played a complete match all season.
