Chelsea blow

Frank Lampard confirmed to Chelseafc.com today that Christian Pulisic has been training with the U23s as he steps-up his recovery from a hip injury that’s hampered him in recent weeks. However, the American winger won’t be available for selection against Man Utd on Monday.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has also been working hard at Cobham after recovering from a serious Achilles injury but the midfielder is still short of match fitness so he won’t be in contention to take on United.

Lampard also provided an update on Tammy Abraham and the Chelsea coach confirmed the striker is still feeling the effects of an ankle injury that he initially suffered against Arsenal last month. Abraham will need to be assessed over the weekend before his availability will be determined.
