Chelsea’s injury woes continue to mount ahead of their Sunday match against West Ham. Young defender Alfie Gilchrist limped off during the win over Tottenham, potentially adding another name to the already lengthy absentee list.
While Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku returned to training, their participation against West Ham remains unclear, as does the status of Axel Disasi who suffered a knock.
Several key players like Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana, and Reece James are confirmed out due to various injuries.
In stark contrast to Chelsea, West Ham has a much healthier squad. While George Earthy and Dinos Mavropanos are injury doubts, both could recover in time for the match. Nayef Aguerd is the only confirmed absentee for West Ham.
Mavropanos’ return could see him replace Angelo Ogbonna in West Ham’s defence. Manager David Moyes might also stick with the midfield that performed well against Liverpool, potentially keeping James Ward-Prowse on the bench despite his impressive free-kick against Chelsea last season.
Chelsea’s numerous injuries could significantly impact their performance against West Ham, and with a bit of luck we can take advantage
COYI !
But we need the ref to be on our side, right? 🙄
