But while Pulisic might have already linked up with Chelsea, there is no way he can play for them in the Europa League final.For any player to appear in the Baku showpiece, they had to have been registered back in January when European squads were submitted to UEFA. This means any of Chelsea’s returning loanees cannot play against Arsenal, although clubs are allowed to name youth players on their B list to include them in the final.
