The American striker is already back in training after tests showed the hamstring injury he sustained in warm-up before beating Burnley was just a minor issue.
Frank Lampard has confirmed that he should be fit for Sheffield United’s visit to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Chelsea manager said: “He had a scan and it’s a very minor injury to his Achilles tendon. He’s already out of training. He’s not fit tomorrow, but we’ll see after that. “
This is the second thigh problem Pulisic suffered from shortly after the season started.
Lampard admits this is a situation that Chelsea medical staff need to oversee.
“Some players who play on the sidelines and have this speed can be more vulnerable. It’s not a single answer, “he said.
“Last season we looked for ways to manage it and be proactive. He’s already experienced that in his career in Dortmund.
“Everyone is working to make him as fit as possible because we know his talent.”
Probable Chelsea XI (4-1-4-1): Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Jorginho; Werner, Berg, Havertz, Ziyech; Abraham
