Pulisic has not featured since Aug. 14 when he scored in
Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace to open the English Premier League.
The American forward injured an ankle while on international
duty in early September — his sixth significant injury in his two years at
Chelsea.
“He was already so close to coming to team training last
week, then had a little setback and a little reaction, some pain but nothing
serious, and from there we go on,” Tuchel said.
“He is very impatient of course. He does everything and we
can see him suffer in every meeting, and every time we meet him here at the
training ground he’s really suffering.
“He wants to be on the pitch and help us and everybody is
doing their very best. But unfortunately the injury takes its time.”
