Chelsea injury news and return dates ahead of West Ham amid Pulisic boost
Chelsea’s injury situation appears to be improving as the year 2023 progresses, with Graham Potter bringing back three crucial starters in the match against Fulham. Reece James started the game, while Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling made impressive appearances from the bench.
Wesley Fofana and Christian Pulisic seem to be close to making a return to play, with Pulisic announcing on Instagram that he’ll be “back soon”. This could be timely, as Mykhailo Mudryk is currently dealing with a serious cold.
