Chelsea star Christian Pulisic has opened up on his recent struggles at Stamford Bridge, and revealed his lack of game time hasn't been easy.
Pulisic has been unable to break into the Blues' starting XI under Thomas Tuchel recently, despite having previously worked with the German boss.
The American winger shone at Borussia Dortmund under Tuchel, and was expected to become his key player after Frank Lampard was replaced.
However, Pulisic has only started once in the Premier League under the new head coach, and has been resigned to bit-part appearances from the bench.
But the forward doesn't seem to be too concerned, and insisted he believes he's on the right path to game time at Stamford Bridge.
"It hasn't been the easiest thing," Pulisic admitted while on national duty.
"Obviously, I'm a guy who always wants to play, but I think I'm on a really good path.
"I love to take on challenges. I love to, not prove people wrong, but prove myself right in a way. So I'll just continue to work hard.
"Coming into camp, I'm really just excited to get more minutes and play for my country.
"Regardless of what's happening at the club level, I'm just thrilled to be here and I'm excited to represent this crest again."
Pulisic explained that the feeling he's experiencing now is similar to when he joined the club in 2019, when he had to fight for his place in the side.
"I was in a similar situation, I think, when I first came to Chelsea, so I had to work my way and earn my position in the team and to finally get some minutes," Pulisic continued.
"I feel like I did that and I feel like I'm basically going out there and trying to do the same thing now.
"I feel very confident in my form right now and the way I'm feeling and playing, so I think I'm on a good path."
