Chelsea vs Spurs: Blues receive 5 injury boosts
Ahead of Chelsea versus Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge, The Pride of London detail the Blues’ five injury boosts. This includes information on: Reece James, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and N’Golo Kante.
Having a midfield exponent to deploy such as Kante could turn the tide for Graham Potter’s CFC outfit. A catalyst for change is desperately required. Desperately. The individuals signed of late haven’t formed a cohesive unit, at all.
Now that the Frenchman is nearing full training, when can we expect him back? According to football.london, he might be included in the squad for the Spurs match on February 26. Although, I think that date is premature; Leeds United on March 4 feels more likely. Meanwhile, Nizaar Kinsella of Evening Standard revealed that James, Thiago, Sterling and Mudryk are available and ready to start the Tottenham clash.

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is being criticised across the board
Can Mount revive his Blues career? Yes, he is skilled and intelligent enough to get to the route of his problems, whether the matter is uncertainty regarding his contract or something else. The Blues have similar or better players incoming. But the capital club also have people on the roster, or soon-to-be signings for the coming summer, who are yet to prove themselves in the Premier League – the most challenging global division.
I have said this before, if he is indeed sold, I already envision Mount returning to west London and causing all kinds of issues on the Stamford Bride pitch. Not to mention when CFC visit his prospectively new side. Who else could possibly know Chels’ inside out than someone who started at the outfit aged-six and went all the way through the youth teams until he won the Champions League with the senior side?

While Mount’s future remains undecided from a personal perspective, other observers do not believe the England man is pulling his weight on Fulham Road. Former Arsenal playmaker Paul Merson claims that Mount must improve; the Sky Sports pundit says the Three Lions athlete was ‘eaten up’ against Southampton during the recent game. The analyst suggests that he doesn’t see the generally atrocious Blues form subsiding anytime soon.
