LONDON – Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic has yet to start an English Premier League match under Thomas Tuchel, but the manager stressed on Friday that the American remains “in my plans.” Tuchel downplayed speculation that the 22-year-old Pulisic might seek to leave Stamford Bridge after the season in search of more playing time. “This is too far ahead.
We have so many games and he is in my plans and he’s an important player, and he has the potential to be decisive for us from the bench and as a (starter),” the German manager said. “Is it necessary that he can prove it?
Yes, so this is my job, and his job is to be ready — to be ready like everybody else. This is what you sign up for in a club like Chelsea.
