Pulisic says losing Abraham not an issue for Chelsea

Christian Pulisic has faith in Chelsea's attacking depth following an injury to Tammy Abraham.

Olivier Giroud disappointed in Abraham's place against West Ham United on Saturday, a match which ended in a 1-0 defeat.

But Pulisic says the Blues have enough resource to cover Abraham, who has ten Premier League goals for the season.

"Of course, he [Abraham] has done well for us this season but we have other guys who can step up," Pulisic said to reporters after the match.

"Oli trains great and he's a great player - he was a bit unfortunate so we'll see.

"I mean we have different guys who can come in, we had the fresh guys come in. We have a full squad and a very fit squad so it shouldn't be an issue."
