Chelsea Growing List of Injured Players
With just three matches played so far in the season, Chelsea has got a number of injured players, who won’t be available for varying degrees of duration.
The new captain of the team Reece James has been sidelined due to injury. He was unavailable for the team for a number of months last season. And with only few games to the current season, the English star is battling another injury. He was named the captain of the team during the buildup to the fresh season.
The French international, Christopher Nkunku, who was transferred from Dortmund to Chelsea is yet to play a match for the London side. He picked up an injury while in the German club though the London side, Chelsea, had paid for his release clause. He is literally out of the season for the club.
Chelsea got Wesley Fofana from Leicester City. There were mixed reactions when Todd Bohely, the American owner paid for his transfer. Critics said he was not worth the price considering his history of injuries and inconsistency. Having played a few games and scoring fewer goals, the Frenchman is now in injury.
Mykhailo Mudryk might be regretting his decision to agree to the deal with Chelsea. He was earlier approached by the North London club Arsenal, but it’s the Blues that would have him eventually. His stay in the club has been miserable compounded by inability to score or create assists, and most recently his injury at the start of the season.
Key defenders Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiashile are among the Chelsea’s players who have been injured. Although coach Mauricio Pochenttio may not totally worry about the rather concerning development, the list of injuries may imped his plans for the club. He may not be able to deliver for the club this season.
