Football requires physical exertion, and recent FIFA schedules have increased players’ workload, constantly exposing them to the risk of injury.
Chelsea Injury Updates and Possible Returns Against Liverpool
Enzo Maresca’s team remains unbeaten in their last seven games, with their solitary league loss to Manchester City this season.
However, their performance in the Premier League faces challenges due to several injury worries that may impact their squad depth and tactics.
Noni Madueke, the striker who scored Chelsea’s only goal in their recent draw against Nottingham Forest, had to leave the field.
Levi Colwill sustained an injury during the match against Nottingham Forest and the team replaced him in the second half of the game.
Levi is fit to play against Liverpool because his injury was minor, and he also played for the England squad in the Nations League.
Carney Chukwuemeka, who missed recent matches due to illness, has now healed and will be able to play against Liverpool.
Reece James has also recovered from a hamstring injury he sustained during Chelsea’s pre-season tour against Real Madrid.
He practised vigorously at the Cobham training ground, raising hopes of his readiness to play against the Reds.
Omari Kellyman, a recent addition to Stamford Bridge from Aston Villa for about £19 million, has yet to play in a senior match.
An unfortunate hamstring injury he suffered in early September has impeded his advancement and delayed his debut.
According to football.london, Chelsea has their young goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen as their newest injury.
Filip Jorgensen left the game in the first half due to an injury sustained while playing against Iceland for Denmark under-21s.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper collided with a teammate during the game and medical staff are currently evaluating his injury.
Jorgensen has not played in the Premier League for Enzo Maresca’s team yet, but he has participated in the Conference League and Carabao Cup.
Jorgensen’s return to Chelsea before the match against Liverpool is imminent as the problem’s severity remains unknown.
Chelsea Players Facing Suspension
MARC CUCURELLA – Cucurella will miss Chelsea’s lineup on Sunday because he accumulated his fifth yellow card of the season in the previous game against Forest
Currently, a one-match suspension prevents him from playing for Chelsea on Saturday.
WESLEY FOFANA -Fofana will not play for Chelsea at Anfield, as the referee issued a significant booking against him during the match with Forest.
Fofana received the same one-match suspension as Marc Cucurella.
What Is Next for Chelsea?
Chelsea began their season positively, currently holding fourth place with 14 points that they earned from their first seven matches.
Since their opening day loss to Man City, the Blues haven’t been defeated in the league, responding effectively to criticism.
Manager Maresca is hopeful that the return of their injured captain, Reece James, will strengthen the squad.
When it comes to fixtures, Liverpool, who are currently leading the league, present the most challenging opponent that Chelsea will face.
Next, they will face Newcastle United, a team that has significantly impacted recent years.
Next, they will compete against FC Panathinaikos in their Europa Conference League journey.
They will compete against Manchester United, who have had a terrible start this season, in the first week of November.
