Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he's delighted with the form of Christian Pulisic.

The 22-year-old has struggled to maintain full fitness and has been in and out of the team after looking to have found his best form during Project Restart last summer.

But following his brace against Crystal Palace last weekend and a man of the match performance against Porto in midweek, Tuchel has been delighted by the American's progress.

Ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City, he said: "He (Pulisic) was fantastic in the last game.

"He has to trust himself with injury, his full fitness. He has to be a bit more calm and have self-confidence in the fact that I trust him.

"It's important for him to show his full potential. He can be a huge player and have big performances for us.

"With his dribbling, runs into the boxes, he has stepped up and I am very happy about this in the last weeks and games."
