Chelsea has some bad news before their game against Newcastle on Monday. Some of their players are injured or sick.
Ben Chilwell hurt his knee after the game against Brentford. He’s gone to a special doctor for it. Levi Colwill hurt his toe, and Conor Gallagher is sick and couldn’t train this week.
The coach, Pochettino, said it’s the same problem as last week. They have more players injured now. Gallagher might still play if he feels better. They’re not sure yet.
Pochettino said it’s frustrating because they can’t work with all their players. They’re missing important players like Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku.
Chilwell was already out for three months with another injury. They hope this one won’t keep him out for long, but they have to wait for the specialist’s opinion.
Pochettino said they might bring up some young players from the academy to help out. He thinks it’s a good opportunity for them to show what they can do.
