Christian Pulisic explains why he is less injury-prone with AC Milan than at Chelsea

Christian Pulisic was one of the most injury-prone Chelsea players during his time at Stamford Bridge. Now that he's at AC Milan, though, he's been mostly injury-free, missing just six games for club and country this season.

"I wouldn't say there's been a big change, or something that I've done," the American told FOX Sports when asked about the reasons behind the change.

"I've taken good care of my body for sure. But it's just been good to get that consistent game time. Your body just kind of gets accustomed to it, which has been really helpful.

"When you're constantly in and out of the lineup, it can be hard. Your body isn't prepared for that constant wear, so then when you come in and give a high-intensity performance, it can definitely be a problem.

"But this season I'm just feeling good and confident. And that's when I play my best."

Chelsea's medical department faces a lot of scrutiny this season. Just this week, Romeo Lavia, Ben Chilwell, Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka have suffered injury setbacks.

The Blues have already changed plenty of medical staff, but the results still leave a lot to be desired.
