USMNT's Christian Pulisic has been demoted to the Chelsea bench against Dinamo Zagreb after starting in the Blues' last Premier League match in a 4-1 loss to Brighton

Christian Pulisic is benched AGAIN by Chelsea, with the World Cup just two-and-a-half weeks away, as manager Graham Potter makes changes after two consecutive starts for US star and embarrassing defeat by Brighton

USMNT’s Christian Pulisic is relegated to the bench once again for Chelsea’s final Champions League group stage match against Dinamo Zagreb, with the World Cup just two-and-a-half weeks away.

Manager Graham Potter has put his faith in seven players who didn’t start against Brighton at the weekend following the 4-1 loss at the Amex Stadium. Pulisic, who started in the embarrassing defeat to the Seagulls, also featured in the Blues’ last European game in the win (2-1) against RB Salzburg. 

The American appears to have lost his starting spot on the right-hand flank to Raheem Sterling in Wednesday night’s fixture, as the London side host the Croatians at Stamford Bridge.
