Chelsea’s struggle with injuries has taken a dire turn, undoing recent progress in terms of player availability. The club’s latest update reveals the addition of two key players to the injury list, while three others are likely to miss the upcoming Monday game.
Initially, there was optimism about Levi Colwill or Ben Chilwell returning for Monday’s match. However, Chilwell is only participating in partial team training, and Colwill is still in the midst of his rehabilitation program, leaving their participation uncertain. Furthermore, Raheem Sterling’s absence due to illness adds to the uncertainty surrounding his availability.
Turning to more worrying developments, Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez, who have been consistent fixtures in the squad without significant injury setbacks all season, are now undergoing medical assessments. The severity of their conditions remains unclear, but given Chelsea’s injury woes this season, concerns are running high.
The potential absence of Disasi, Fernandez, Chilwell, Colwill, Sterling, and other regular absentees would stretch Chelsea’s squad depth to a breaking point.
Fans eagerly anticipate Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference later today for further updates on the situation.
