Christian Pulisic is likely to miss start of Premier League season

Americans abroad weekend roundup

Christian Pulisic’s hamstring injury in the FA Cup final last weekend not only damaged Chelsea’s chances of raising the trophy at Wembley. It sidelined him for the UEFA Champions League match at Bayern Munich this weekend and jeopardized his availability for the 2020-21 Premier League opener Sept. 12.

“We’re looking at a six-week injury,” Manager Frank Lampard said before a 4-1 defeat at Bayern on Saturday eliminated Chelsea in the round of 16 on a 7-1 aggregate.

The injury marred an otherwise fabulous summer for the 21-year-old U.S. winger, who recovered from an adductor ailment in the winter to emerge as one of Chelsea’s best players when the Premier League restarted in June.

He finished the 2019-20 campaign with nine goals and six assists in 25 league appearances, one goal and two assists in four Champions League outings, one goal in two FA Cup matches, and one assist in two League Cup games.

With Pulisic and Chelsea out of the Champions League, three Americans have a chance to play in the quarterfinals.

They are midfielder Tyler Adams with RB Leipzig, which will face Atlético Madrid on Thursday in Lisbon; forward Konrad de la Fuente, 19, who on Saturday became the first U.S. player to be in uniform for Barcelona’s first team in official competition, though he did not play; and Bayern Munich forward Malik Tillman, 19, and defender Chris Richards, 18, whose club will play Barcelona on Friday in Lisbon.

In Sweden, oft-injured forward Aron Johannsson scored his first goal in 2½ years, then left with another injury in the 21st during Hammarby’s 2-1 victory at Djurgarden.

Midfielder Luca de la Torre, who spent four years with Fulham, moved to Dutch club Heracles on a free transfer. De La Torre, 22, made two league appearances this season and scored five goals in nine matches for Fulham’s under-23 squad.

Charlie Kelman, an English-born U.S. forward who posted five goals for third-tier Southend, is the subject of transfer rumors to first-flight Tottenham Hotspur and second-tier Swansea City. One report linked Kelman, 18, to Swansea and a subsequent loan to D.C. United. (Swansea and D.C. have the same owners.) However, a person close to D.C. said no such thing is in the works.

Here’s the rundown of more than 190 players:

(Several players competing in lesser leagues or with reserve/youth squads are not listed. Americans with dual nationalities representing other national teams have also been omitted.)
