Report: 24-year-old Chelsea player was in first-team training again yesterday, he's not played since January

Reports have claimed that Christian Pulisic continued his path back to fitness by featuring in first-team training yesterday.

According to The Athletic, the American took part in the session as well as fellow injured star N’golo Kante.

Pulisic hasn’t been seen for the Blues since the Premier League match with Manchester City last month. He was one of two players forced off in the early minutes alongside Raheem Sterling facing his old team.

The England international has been making his own personal recovery to full fitness, with him getting a start against Tottenham at the weekend.

Despite his impressive personal display, the Blues fell to another defeat, this time to one of their closest rivals.

Pulisic was again forced to watch from the sidelines, as the attackers starting in his place continued to flatter to deceive in front of goal.

Goals have certainly dried up in recent weeks. Mykhailo Mudryk, signed for big money to feature on the left of the attack, is yet to contribute for the side.

If this continues, there could be an argument that the Blues should look to the World Cup star to turn around their fortunes.

It was claimed that there was a big chance he would have left the club last month if injuries didn’t rule him out for some time.

Even if he continues to feature at Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks, it is likely that his future remains elsewhere.

Him and fellow winger Hakim Ziyech are both likely to move on, with the Moroccan coming close to a deadline day move to PSG on loan.

An error on Chelsea’s part saw him remain a player at Stamford Bridge for now, but you can’t help but think it will be rectified in the summer.
