Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea squad has encountered yet another setback as the latest injury update reveals concerns for three pivotal players.
In the official club update posted on the website, Vice Captain Ben Chilwell’s injury was confirmed by Pochettino during his pre-match conference. Although the full extent of his injury remains uncertain, Chilwell is highly likely to miss the upcoming clash against Newcastle on Monday, pending further assessment results. Center-back Levi Colwill has also been ruled out due to injury and has not participated in training since the Brentford game, having picked up a toe injury.
To offset these setbacks, Chelsea welcomes the return of Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella to training at a crucial juncture. Additionally, the energetic midfielder Connor Gallagher, who has been absent from training since the Brentford match due to a virus, is uncertain for Monday’s fixture, according to Pochettino.
