SHOCKING INJURY UPDATE! Chelsea’s injury woes deepen as TWO key players miss the crucial clash against Nottingham Forest!
Chelsea faces injury setbacks as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, hoping to maintain their winning streak under Enzo Maresca.
Maresca’s tactical decisions, including his choices in the Europa Conference League, have significantly benefited Chelsea’s momentum. Since the international break, Chelsea has been in outstanding form, starting with Christopher Nkunku’s late goal against AFC Bournemouth, followed by victories over West Ham, Barrow, Brighton, and KAA Gent.
With Nottingham Forest set to visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Chelsea players Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia, who were left out of the squad for the UEFA match, will be fresh for the game.
Thankfully, no new injuries arose from Thursday’s match, though captain Reece James remains sidelined with an injury that has delayed his return. Maresca commented that James is still out and that there’s no clear timeline for his recovery, emphasizing the importance of players returning only when fully fit.
Meanwhile, Omari Kellyman, a summer signing yet to debut for Chelsea, is still recovering from a hamstring injury and is expected to return next month.
