Chelsea’s injury woes have worsened ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Arsenal on Tuesday. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has been dealt a significant triple blow, with top scorer Cole Palmer ruled out through illness. Additionally, Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell are being assessed for knee injuries and are unlikely to be risked.
Pochettino is already without seven other players, including Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Christopher Nkunku. The Blues’ squad is stretched thin, and their chances of securing a positive result at the Emirates have been diminished by these latest setbacks.
Despite their depleted squad, Chelsea will be determined to bounce back from their disappointing FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. They will need to find a way to cope without their key players if they are to maintain their push for a top-four finish.
