Chelsea
winger Christian Pulisic admits he is growing frustrated at the lack of
first-team minutes he is receiving under Frank Lampard.
The 21-year-old has been an unused substitute in four out of Chelsea's last
five matches in all competitions, with his only on-pitch minutes coming in
the Carabao Cup win over Grimsby Town.
The USA international, who initially signed for Chelsea in a £58m deal from
Dortmund in January, says he will continue to work hard in training in an
attempt to impress Lampard.
"Yeah, of course, it is very frustrating, but I will continue to work my
hardest because I want to play," Pulisic told NBC Sports after Saturday's
2-0 win over Brighton.
Pulisic says the Chelsea head coach has not offered him specific advice on
how to claim a first-team spot ahead of team-mates Mason Mount, Willian,
Pedro and the returning Callum Hudson-Odoi.
"Not so much," Pulisic revealed. "He said to keep working and I have to
improve myself in training and try to get back in the line-up.
"It is not going to be easy here, but it was never going to be easy."
