Chelsea academy coach Ashley Cole says Christian Pulisic faces a battle to get back into manager Frank Lampard's starting XI.
Cole admits he'd go with Mason Mount ahead of the American once he is fully fit.
"Frank has a dilemma but it's a good dilemma," Cole told Sky Sports after the game.
"[Christian] Pulisic at the back end of last season was on fire and everyone was like, 'Wow look what this kid can produce'.
"He was the star of the team at the time.
"But now with so many attacking options it will be difficult at times when everyone is fit.
"I love having Mason [Mount] in midfield I think he brings energy, the quality and freedom for other players to thrive."
