DBasia.news – Chelsea are subject to sanctions from FIFA which has made them be unable to recruit players in the two transfer periods for recruiting underage players.
This has made Frank Lampard rely more on young players in the squad, some names have even managed to lock one place in the starting XI, unfortunately, this does not apply to Christian Pulisic.
When the Blues decided to bring him in January 2019 and then loan him back to Borussia Dortmund, Pulisic was predicted to be a successor to Eden Hazard, but since late last August, the United States player has occupied the bench more.
This has even made Pulisic frustrated, but Lampard turned out to have his own reasons behind the decision. The man who had coached Derby County also revealed the conditions that must be met by the player in order to regain a place in the main squad.
“I have invited Pulisic to speak two days before the match against Grimsby Town and explain about the standards used at Chelsea. In fact, he also recently moved to a new country with a new competition too,” Lampard said as reported by Goal.
“He is still very young, and so are the young players that we talk about a lot. Pulisic is also only 21 years old. If the public is too excited about this, it looks like they have to be more calm. Pulisic has only played five matches. What he needs to do now is work. Work every day and prove that he is indeed fit to play, “he added.
Pulisic’s chance to become Lampard’s first choice is clearly still available, especially the club based at Stamford Bridge will also play four different competitions, in addition to the Premier League, League Cup and Champions League, they will also immediately begin their journey in the FA Cup.
