Pulisic remains out with ‘problematic’ injury

Christian Pulisic remains out injured for Chelsea, Frank Lampard has confirmed. Pulisic, 22, will not play against Newcastle United on Saturday (watch live, 7:30am ET on Peacock Premium) as the winger will miss a fourth-straight game for the Blues. The Pennsylvanian native injured his hamstring in the warm-up before a game against Burnley on Oct. 31 and hasn’t played since. Here was the update Lampard gave on Pulisic, as he had previously suffered a setback as he closed in on a return to action. “Pulisic is not fit for Newcastle but he has stepped up his training slowly. It has been quite a problematic injury, we have been cautious,” Lampard said.
