Christian Pulisic traveled with Chelsea to Sweden, and the American winger could make his first appearance with the team in 2 1/2 months when the Blues play at Malmö in the Champions League. The 23-year-old from Hershey, Pennsylvania, injured his left ankle on Sept. 8 while playing for the U.S. in a World Cup qualifier at Honduras. Pulisic returned to full training last week. He has played for Chelsea just twice this season. Before the ankle injury, he was sidelined by a positive COVID-19 test. The Americans’ next qualifier is Nov. 12 against Mexico in Cincinnati.
