PoL presents latest Chelsea injury news on captain Reece James, Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, new signing Romeo Lavia, Armando Broja and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Irrespective of another Chelsea setback, this time at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in true Graham Potter style, Mauricio Pochettino requires patience. He’s earned that from a great career. The former Tottenham Hotspur boss is the right man for the job. I think that is fairly obvious. Blues fans will encounter more strife before things eventually get back to normal. The Pride of London fan base may even have to suffer through these uncertain and challenging times for another year or two. I know, right.
But Pochettino isn’t Potter; I actually believe the Englishman will again be successful at a separate English top-flight club in time, incidentally. But I digress. Remember, Pochettino has previously hinted at his dissatisfaction concerning an emphasis on youth. Albeit the acquisitions are often starlet buys from CFC’s recruitment policy. Though by August the ex-Paris Saint-Germain manager could see that too many promising but unproven signings were transpiring on Fulham Road. Yet the Argentine is fastidious: studious preparation and meticulous training methods will get the best out of this inexperienced, expensive squad in due course.

Happily for Blues supporters, there is more proven quality in the side than some care to recall or consider in testing times. It is just that a few are sidelined at present. For example, team leader Reece James will return, again, after he was injured, again. The England international is currently undergoing his rehabilitation; ‘Poch’ gave a timeline that should match with the end of the international break. Meanwhile news on Armando Broja, who did prove himself an elite young goalscorer whilst on loan at Southampton, is encouraging. The forward is now in partial training.
