Chelsea suffer blow ahead of game vs Aston Villa

Chelsea would return to action this weekend when they host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

However, ahead of the match, the Blues will be without their winger, Christian Pulisic, who has suffered a fresh setback.

Chelsea are looking to make it five games unbeaten in all competitions when they face Aston Villa this weekend but will have to do it without Pulisic.

Chelsea manager, Graham Potter in a pre-match press conference ahead of the Aston Villa clash confirmed that the USA star had a cold after returning from the international break.

“Pulisic is the only one,” Potter said.

“He had a heavy cold returning from international duty so he is one we have got to check on.”

Meanwhile, Pulisic has not been a regular for Chelsea this season and has been tipped as one of those who would be put up for sale in the summer transfer window.
