Christian Pulisic suffers thigh muscle tear

Soon-to-be Chelsea star Christian Pulisic could miss a month’s worth of action for Borussia Dortmund after tearing a muscle in his thigh.

As reported by ESPN, the forward suffered the injury during the USA’s 1-1 friendly draw against Chile and as such, he will be out for three to four weeks.,

Initially, the game was a huge plus-point for Pulisic as he became the youngest American to reach double-digit international goals, but it ended with him suffering the thigh injury.

Chelsea signed Pulisic in January for a fee of around €64 million and he was immediately loaned him back to BVB for the rest of the season.

Hes been finding game time hard to come by in recent weeks and this injury will set him back even further.

Speaking at his press conference ahead of Dortmund’s game against Wolfsburg this weekend, manager Lucien Favre confirmed that Pulisic was injured but didn’t give any time frame for his return, but ESPN sources tell them the American could miss a month’s worth of action.
