Mauricio Pochettino plotting Chelsea transfers as Blues boss offers update on injured Chelsea duo

The Blues have been dealing with a bunch of injuries lately, but it looks like things are getting better. Mauricio Pochettino, the coach, says Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia, who’ve been out with injuries, might be back playing for Chelsea soon.

Right now, only four players are sidelined for the last two games against Brighton and Bournemouth. Lavia and Fofana have been out for a while, but Robert Sanchez and Enzo Fernandez are also out, although they might be back sooner.

Some key players like Christopher Nkunku and Reece James have been dealing with injuries all season. Pochettino says they’ll think about these injuries when deciding who to bring in during the transfer window.

Pochettino said to reporters, “We’re starting to look at who might leave, who we might bring in. We’ve already started working on it. We have to be careful with players like Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Reece James. We need to make sure they’re fit not just now, but for the whole season.”

He’s hopeful that Fofana will be back training with the team before the new season starts.

Chelsea’s been doing pretty well lately, losing only one of their last 13 games. They’re likely to qualify for Europe. Players like Nicolas Jackson have been standing out.

Pochettino thinks Jackson has the potential to be an excellent striker, but people need to be patient with him. He’s happy that fans are starting to see Jackson’s talent.

He’s also impressed with Moises Caicedo’s recent performances. Pochettino believes Caicedo will improve even more next season.

But he doesn’t think Caicedo is better off without his usual midfield partner, Fernandez. He thinks Fernandez is a great player who will only get better with more experience.
