Seven First-Team players sidelined for Premier League clash
Chelsea FC has suffered a huge setback as the Premier League’s top team has officially announced that seven first-team players would be missing for their upcoming match against Brentford. Preparing for a Saturday afternoon match at Stamford Bridge, the Blues will be missing quite a few of players from their squad.
Listed on the club’s official website are Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku as injured players. Since all of these players are dealing with chronic injuries, Chelsea fans are concerned about their absence from the team.
To speed up their recovery, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku are all currently participating in intensive rehabilitation programs. Chelsea’s depth is put under more stress as they get ready to play Brentford in the Premier League due to this long list of problems.
Although Chelsea’s starting lineup versus Arsenal the previous game was superb, some tactical changes may be necessary due to the unavailability of these important individuals. Mauricio Pochettino will probably need to make calculated choices to make up for the absence of the stars.
With Armando Broja out and no other proven striker available, Blues attacker Nicolas Jackson may get more attention as he could be a key player in the team’s next game against Brentford. As Chelsea looks to win the Premier League, fans will be looking for a solid performance from the players that are still in the squad.
