Christian Pulisic is starting to draw more comparisons to another American superstar athlete, one that was heralded as The Next Big Thing at a very young age. Like Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose, Pulisic is extremely talented, but also very injury prone.

And a big reason that both of these stars are so injury prone is the aggressive, attacking style in which they approach their game.

What a bummer for Kepa Arrizabalaga, it appears his time at Chelsea is about to run out. The world’s most expensive goalkeeper (okay, don’t feel too bad for him) will get the drop on Wednesday night, in favor of Willy Caballero, and reports indicate that Stamford Bridge are close to finalizing their deal that will bring in Rennes shotstopper Edouard Mendy to help out their difficult situation in goal.

Caballero will get the call for the third round League Cup clash on Wednesday night, at home against Barnsley FC. Coming off the heels of a dismal showing at home against Liverpool, the Blues will look to reset and regroup.

It was an extremely disappointing showing for Chelsea FC yesterday at home against reigning champions Liverpool, but there is almost no time to dwell on it. That’s a good thing, because after a 2-0 loss like that, spotlighting the differences between where your team currently is, and where you think they should/could soon be, the best thing you can do is move on and move on quickly.

That’s exactly what the Blues will have to do, as the next match, an EFL Cup third round clash against Barnsley FC, will be here Wednesday night.
