Christian Pulisic's father has criticised his son's lack of playing time at Chelsea, describing his situation as 'sad'.
Pulisic featured as a substitute in Chelsea's defeat to Everton on Sunday and hasn't started a Premier League game for almost two months.
In a tweet that was subsequently deleted, Pulisic's dad Mark hinted that the United States international could end up leaving Chelsea if he doesn't start more regularly.
Pulisic's dad suggested that there are a 'big six months ahead', seemingly in reference to the World Cup, which is set to get underway in Qatar in November.
Furthermore, he stated that the 23-year-old 'loves the club, his teammates, and London'.
Mark Pulisic wrote: 'The sad thing is he loves the club, teammates, and London... puts his heart and soul into being a pro. Onwards and upwards my boy... big six months ahead..'.
Pulisic has been named in the starting lineup just ten times in the league this campaign. Although he still has two years remaining on his Chelsea contract, his current situation could cause uncertainty over his future.
Signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, Pulisic won the Champions League with Chelsea last season and featured as a substitute in the final against Manchester City.
Although he is capable of playing on either flank, behind the striker or up front, Pulisic has found his opportunities limited of late.
One problem that Pulisic faces is that Thomas Tuchel often opts to play with a three at the back formation without any wingers.
Pulisic will hope that he can force his way back into the Chelsea starting lineup before the end of the season as Tuchel's side look to guarantee a top four finish.
The Blues have four league games remaining, while they also have the FA Cup final against Liverpool to look forward to on May 14.
Chelsea have won just one of their last four league games and return to action at home to Wolves next weekend.

That's absolutely true. Christian Pulisic has been treated unfairly by Thomas Tuchel but the large majority of Chelsea fans are too afraid to admit it just because of how successful we've been under this manager in such a short span of time. Everyone makes mistakes and Thomas Tuchel is no different. Pulisic deserves a good run of games in his position to prove his worth. When he plays in his position, he scores goals more frequently than the other lot.
Werner has been good in recent games tho

Andy Pulisic is not what you think he is mate! please get some sense!!! In his last few months at Dortmund he wasn’t playing regularly. Frank Lampard didn’t play him regularly. And now we have Tuchel who has played him, but not regularly. It’s no coincidence that at least three of his coaches have had him in and out of the team. When that happens you need to look at yourself. Tuchel is leaving Pulisic as a result of his training sessions he's with him on day to day so I don't think he'll leave him as you seem to dream he's the best because Tuchel too want to win games so he wouldn't leave out his best player I guess. Tuchel is leaving Pulisic based on the system and the players and the opponents that's all. His father can take him out of our Chelsea FC no problem. More than 4 coaches have never considered Pulisic a regular in Europe and you see nothing wrong with him???? come Andy you can do better mate.
Yes Pulisic hasn't been playing regularly in previous seasons due to injuries. And when he was at Dortmund, he started off as a 17 year old boy so of course he wasn't going to be a regular at that age. Under Lampard, he was a regular for a while until he picked up injuries again. And if anything, Pulisic's goals made the difference in 2019/20 season because if it wasn't for his brilliance, we would probably have missed out on UCL qualification in that season. I admit that Pulisic was terrible last season but this season he's actually looked a lot better. He hasn't had a lot of minutes (just 1045 minutes in the PL so far) but yet he's the joint 4th highest scorer for us in the PL this season. All the other players who have scored more goals have also had many more minutes - Mason Mount 10 goals in 2185 minutes, Kai Havertz 7 goals in 1707 minutes, Jorginho 6 penalties in 2098 minutes, Lukaku 5 goals in 1327 minutes. Pulisic's minutes per goal ratio is lower than the aforementioned names. So please do the Maths and then ask yourself why I am arguing about this. I know the game isn't always about goals and assists but we need goalscorers on the pitch. The likes of Lukaku and Werner are scoring at a worse rate than Pulisic and then you wonder why I'm moaning.

It doesn't help when you're constantly in and out of the side and then have to play in multiple positions. Pulisic never got a run in the team playing in his favoured position. He's a natural winger with an eye for goal. He should be given the opportunities when he's fit and available.

You are right.. we need to offload him .. he can’t even play 10 straight matches without being injured or flop

someone that falls too much and can't even take on one player, timo is far more better please, don't even compare this two.
Pulisic is better at passing, shooting, finishing and dribbling. Werner is horrible in all these attributes. All he does is run on the flanks and take the ball to the corner flags. So please don't compare that German flop to Christian Pulisic

He should focus on his fitness first, too much injury and you can't expect to play if you're always out injured

Still a better option than Werner. At least he can finish. And when he's in better form, it's best to play him. He literally scored the winner against West Ham after coming off the bench.

He's barely gotten starts this season. Most of the games he's been benched. Yet he has more goals than Timo Werner in the PL despite playing less minutes and despite having to switch his position to wing back half the time

What has Timo Werner done in the last 3 games for you to suggest that he has done well? We need goalscorers on the pitch.
