Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could welcome Christian Pulisic back into his starting XI for the FA Cup clash against Barnsley on Thursday.
Pulisic wasn't in the squad for Chelsea's 2-1 comeback win against Sheffield Utd in the Premier League on Sunday due to personal reasons, with Tuchel allowing him the weekend off.
He was back training with the team during the week, though, and is in line for his first start under Tuchel since the German replaced Frank Lampard as boss.
