Injuries Surrounding the Chelsea Camp

Injuries surrounding

Besides the poor performance in the ongoing season of the Premier League. Injuries surrounding the Chelsea camp have been a major concern for them. Players like Kante, Mudryk, and Fofana have yet to make a return.

Injuries surrounding the Blues

In recent days, the Blues are more concerned with their heavy purchase window. Well, keeping an eye on the injuries list becomes another necessary factor for the Potter’s side. Well besides this huff and puff, finally some positive news was onboard. Raheem Sterling, Reece James, and Ben Chilwell were the ones who provided the Blues with some boost. By helping them secure a goalless draw against Fulham, on Sat 4th of this month. Which in turn would provide them with confidence for their next Premier League encounter with West Ham.

Well besides all these, lies a common fact that Chelsea is missing the support of its quality top players. Who in any format of the game would be a threat to the opponents. And the major reason behind this is the trail of injuries Chelsea has been surrounded with. The injury table mentioned below represents the Blues condition.

Mykhailo Mudryk

The aforementioned Blues forward was able to play for only 45 minutes in their last game against Fulham. Being his debut match, he was allowed to play till halftime. After this, he was substituted for his new teammate Noni Madueke. Potter has confirmed that Mudryk was suffering from a heavy cold. Which doesn’t make it a much serious issue to keep him out of the game for Chelsea’s next match against West Ham.

Christian Pulisic

Pulisic has been ruled out of the team because of a knee injury. Although he himself did declare that he would be “back soon” on his Instagram. Where would he actually fit becomes the only question after he returns. As Chelsea having signed in so many new attacking options, it might become difficult to place him according to his ideal position. His return to the side before their next match against West Ham would provide the Blues with some good opportunities to score goals.

N’Golo Kante

Team manager Potter has now confirmed star Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante. Who for the past one year has been dealing with serious injuries. Has recently returned to the training ground on an individual basis. But still is a bit unlikely to make an appearance for the team in their upcoming matches. Which is entirely based on the extent of his injuries.

Wesley Fofana

The £75 million summer transfer for the Blues has already missed most of the campaign due to his injury. However, team manager Potter has confirmed that Fofana is making a return from his injury. It is possible that the defender might be seen playing for the team in their upcoming match against West Ham. If not will surely be playing for the Blues by the end of this month.

Edouard Mendy

Having undergone surgery due to his fractured finger. Mendy has not shown any clear sign of return till now.

Armando Broja

The Chelsea striker will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his ACL during a midseason friendly.
