Chelsea boss Potter on Pulisic form: USA World Cup prep not my concern

Chelsea boss Graham Potter says the USA's World Cup preparations aren't his concern.

With a World Cup on the horizon, the US are hoping Christian Pulisic's fortunes can turn and Potter echoes that sentiment, having seen him score in his only start under him.

“You can imagine my focus is on Chelsea," Potter told reporters at Cobham.

“I understand that all the players have ambition and want to play for different reasons; for their families, careers, finances or World Cups. That's all fine but it's my job to select the right team for whatever game.

“I am not saying I am right all the time, I am not but somebody has got to make the call. With Christian, I would say he has been fantastic around the place, been really good with teammates, and contributed against Wolves.

“He is pushing for a place, pushing for a start. Things change quickly in football and he needs to be ready."
