Chelsea attacker Pulisic: I've learned plenty from my injuries

United States and Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic believes he has learned valuable lessons from his struggles in the past couple of years.

The winger has not enjoyed the best of careers at the Stamford Bridge club so far.

Arriving in January 2019, Pulisic has still failed to nail down a first team spot with the Blues.

"This injury has taught me a lot – and not just this one," he explained to American reporters on his injury struggles over the past 12 to 18 months.

"I think some of my best moments have been just after coming back from a long-term injury. You know there will always be the people that say, 'he's injured all the time' but in the last year or so I've been extremely healthy.

"I haven't just had these little injuries here and there where I've been out for a week, or this and that. I've been unfortunate to have a couple of serious injuries and it's, unfortunately, part of the sport, but I'm doing everything I can to avoid injury and be available as much as I can."
