EPL: Head coach Potter gives injury update on Chelsea pair, Sterling, Pulisic

Chelsea head coach, Graham Potter has provided an injury update on Raheem Sterling and 

Christian Pulisic following his side’s Premier League 1-0 defeat against Manchester City on 

Thursday.

Sterling was substituted after just five minutes and could be seen holding his hamstring 

following a collision with Man City defender, John Stones during the encounter on Thursday 

night at Stamford Bridge.

Pulisic, on the other hand, was also forced off after a crunching tackle from Stones on 22 

minutes.

Speaking to beIN SPORTS after Chelsea’s defeat to Pep Guardiola’s side, Potter said: “Raheem 

felt the back of his leg when he did a backheel, a strange action, a strange sensation, so 

fingers crossed.

The Englishman then spoke to BBC Match of the Day and added: “It is too early to say with 

injuries.

“Raheem felt it within the first minute of the game. And then with Christian [Pulisic] we are 

hoping it’s not too serious.”
