Chelsea manager Frank Lampard confirmed on Friday that Christian Pulisic has stepped up his recovery from injury but Monday’s clash with Manchester United comes too soon for the winger.
Pulisic has not played for Chelsea since 1-1 draw with Brighton at the start of the year.
“Christian trained with the under-23s today, so won’t be fit. Ruben won’t be fit for this game… he’s getting closer… it’s great to have him nearly back,” Lampard told reporters.
“Tammy’s still feeling the effects. He trained today… we’re hopeful but he’s to be assessed over the weekend.”
