After limping off in Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Dinamo Zagreb, the England international is now anticipated to miss the World Cup. Potter and Chelsea will learn more about the severity of the issue after Chilwell undergoes a scan later today (Friday).
Later this afternoon, Potter said, “He’s having a scan.” “Either then or tomorrow, we’ll learn. We need to wait for the swelling to go down and then we’ll know more. He feels fine and is aware of the injury.
When asked if Chilwell has worst-case concerns, Potter retorted, “I wouldn’t say has worst-case fears. It’s tough to say until we have the scan.
“At the moment, we are optimistic and crossing our fingers. Of course, it’s disappointing.
Other Chelsea players who hope to represent their nations at the World Cup later this month include a few. They could be afraid of giving it their all during games after seeing something like what happened to Chilwell, but Potter is not worried about this.
The Chelsea head coach stated, “I don’t think it’s fear. “It seems to be a component of the difficulty. What is is what is. Playing in the Premier League, the Champions League, and the World Cup all at the same time is really challenging.”
Sunday’s match between Chelsea and Arsenal is expected to be Potter’s toughest challenge as head coach to yet. After a stellar start to the season, the Gunners are currently leading the Premier League table, but their London rivals Chelsea will be looking to end their title ambitions.
