Chelsea FC loanee Nathaniel Chalobah has made a full recovery from a throat fracture and is back on the pitch for Burnley. Chalobah suffered the injury after being hit with an elbow in the throat in a Burnley U21s match, causing the cartilage to fracture. The youngster was rushed to the hospital immediately after the incident but was on the bench for several weeks.

Nathaniel Chalobah is one of the more promising youngsters in the Chelsea FC fold and he is in the midst of a loan spell for the Premier League club which is remarkable for a 19 year old. He has yet to fully impose himself on the Burnley midfield but much of that can be attributed to his injury but the Clarets are in the midst of a crisis so he may yet get his chance.
"“I was gutted to miss the Croatia games because I’d played quite a lot leading up to that point but well done to Gareth and the squad, they really deserve it. I just got a whack in my throat and fractured the cartilage in my throat. The doctor said it needed two weeks to heal with no contact, so I couldn’t be involved with the Under-21s. But everything’s fine now. I’ve got another scan on it but I’m good to go.”Source: The FA"
Chalobah played 10 minutes in Burnley’s last Premier League match against West Ham and looked comfortable enough against what is a surprising top five squad so far this season. Burnley is one of the worst offensive teams and is a favorite for relegation so there is room for change in the squad so manager Sean Dyche should look to the very talented Chelsea FC youngster sitting on his bench. Nathaniel Chalobah certainly can’t play much worse than the midfielders he has deployed so far this season.
