The latest setback comes in the form of Ben Chilwell‘s hamstring injury, which has left the club anxiously awaiting scan results.
Ben Chilwell’s misfortune struck during Chelsea’s recent Carabao Cup victory over Brighton. In the dying moments of the match, he was on the receiving end of a robust tackle from Billy Gilmour, forcing him to limp off the pitch. The grim prospect of another hamstring injury looms large for Chilwell, who had previously suffered a significant one last season, resulting in him missing out on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The latest setback appears to be linked to the same troublesome hamstring. Medical scans will provide the crucial information needed to assess the severity of the injury. As of now, Chilwell’s availability for upcoming fixtures remains in doubt.
Chelsea’s injury woes extend far beyond Chilwell’s predicament. The club could be without a staggering 11 players when facing Fulham. Suspensions have ruled out Nicolas Jackson and Malo Gusto, while long-term injuries have sidelined Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Trevoh Chalobah, captain Reece James, and Marcus Bettinelli. Although Carney Chukwuemeka and Benoit Badiashile have returned to partial training, they are yet to regain full-match fitness.
Ben Chilwell’s participation in the crucial clash against Fulham remains uncertain, and there are fears he may also miss the subsequent fixture against Burnley if scan results are unfavorable. Levi Colwill is the likely candidate to step into the left-back position should Chilwell be sidelined, adding to Pochettino’s growing list of challenges as he seeks to navigate this turbulent period.
