Chelsea Football Club’s struggle with injuries has intensified, reversing the recent positive developments in player availability.
According to the latest update from the club, two vital players have joined the injury list, while three more are facing uncertainties regarding their participation in the upcoming Monday fixture.
Initially, there was optimism surrounding the potential return of Levi Colwill or Ben Chilwell for Monday’s match.
However, Chilwell’s involvement has been limited to “partial team training,” and Colwill is still in the midst of his rehabilitation process, casting doubts on their availability.
Additionally, Raheem Sterling’s absence due to illness further complicates matters.
In more distressing developments, Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez, both of whom have been consistent performers for the team throughout the season without significant injury setbacks, are now undergoing medical evaluations.
The severity of their injuries remains ambiguous, but given Chelsea’s unfortunate streak with injuries this season, apprehensions are running high.
The potential unavailability of Disasi, Fernandez, Chilwell, Colwill, Sterling, and other regular absentees would severely strain Chelsea’s squad depth, pushing them to a breaking point.
Fans will be eagerly anticipating Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference later today, hoping for additional updates on the situation and any potential reinforcements or strategies to navigate through this challenging period.
