Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is confident he can put together a run of games after significant injury problems this season.

Pulisic looked as though he would justify his transfer fee when the Premier League resumed last season, after the initial COVID-19 lockdown.

But his form this term has been hit and miss, as he has missed many games due to injuries or a lack of match sharpness.

The 22-year-old has been in the best form of the season over the past month, since returning from international duty.

"I feel very confident in my body and my fitness level at the moment," said Pulisic to reporters, per the club website.

"I have played a string of games. I never thought as myself as a player who was injury prone or anything.

"I have had some tough times in the past year and a bit, but it's about taking care of my body and putting myself in the best position to be available for every game. I feel good about that now.

"Consistency is everything. That's where I want to be. It did help getting away with the national team and getting some games.

"Coming back, I felt very confident and I still feel that way. Right now, it's about keeping up that form and trying to help my team to win these big games coming up."
