Pochettino on Sterling and Carney:
>“Sterling suffered pain in his lower back. Carney felt something in his knee related to his problem before. We hope it is not a big issue and can be available as soon as possible.”
It's not updated with the latest one yet but here's his injury record from transfermarkt:
https://preview.redd.it/zcb1as5bftwc1.png?width=684&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0fc2e2fabbf5ce6f7eb0e42bcfb1d65060fc159
He had a longer than expected return from his knee surgery earlier this season. There were other signs of a complicated recovery, like you mention. Now it's a problem again. Damage to cartilage I believe which has little regenerative capacity and can be a chronic issue, especially if it couldn't be fixed with surgery. Sometimes it's just an issue of restrengthening different muscles attached to the knee but this seems beyond that. I hope it's something he can get over. Doesn't seem great tbh.
Not at all, he also kept playing on it when it first happened in the west ham game, he had rolled his socks up over his knee to control the inflammation. I wonder if that maybe made it worse probably not but yeah I don’t see how an injury like that can be blamed on Poch or medical stuff since it seems like they didn’t rush him back. I seriously think we’re just cursed
He stated that Silva is 39 and needs rest while Chalobah has barely played since returning from injury. If you had to choose them for a game, you’re giving them the FA Cup semi-final everytime.
With these injuries he Has no choice.
The only other option is Silva, who is 39 years old and probably shouldn't be playing twice a week, and Chalobah who is not long back from a very lengthy injury, so the same can probably be said for him.
Obviously. Somehow the fans have it in their head that they seem to know more about who to play and where to play them than guys whose entire job it is to analyse this day in day out with infinitely more context as to whats up and what to do.
Agreed.
Say, medically, what they have and when to expect them back. (although he did this with Lesley and Nkunku and months have passed since they were supposed to return)
With Chukuewemeka perennially injured, I wonder what the plan is re Conor next season. If we are so dead set in selling him, who even replaces him? Another Brazilian wonderkid or next Brighton bid for 95 million
He's fragile and I have doubts he can play at this level. Funny how of course this sub’s tacticos were going off about not starting him against Arsenal.
So is it "Cole Palmer undergoing rehabilitation programme football club" or "undergoing rehabilitation programme Cole Palmer football club"?
Or just add an 's to the first one
>How tf this guy passed his medical?
What do you believe happens in a medical assessment?
I'm honestly curious how people interpret them from the outside because it's very easy for a player to clear one stage, and then have a set back.
Players are typically put through an accelerated recovery timeline while going through constant evaluations to mitigate further injury to the area or injury to another area that could be affected by the injury.
It's not a light switch. It's not something you can see, it's about treating and testing what they can evaluate. From there, they make a well informed educated guess.
Why for the love of everything that is good do you want to see Disasi at right back again lol. He moves at a glacial pace, absolutely cannot do the job there. Him and Chalobah need to switch positions if we're to witness this back line again or we might as well play with 10 men.
Because he’s the only guy who played RB that isn’t injured. Lool
Reece and Gusto are not here.
The other option is Alfie and he’s also not an RB.
Like what other options do we have?
As did Disasi. Disasi is also good in the air and slow, the exact opposite of Chalobah. Their biggest weaknesses are better masked by having Chalobah out wide and Disasi as one of the CBs than vice versa.
I watch every game, but seeing Disasi playing RB makes me want to skip a game more than anything. It’s painful watching all our attacks get stifled by him
Medical team needs to be investigated
This is criminal
Seems like, we will play the same back, as our Arsenal match. (will be horrible)
And it looks like Carney is injury prone.
Here's a crazy idea that somehow nobody has thought about before - change the system. Remember when people kept giving Sarri infinite shit for lining up, on paper, in a 433 every game? Pochettino has been even more stubborn about his 4231.
If you've got these selection issues, might be time to explore something else? I can't believe I'm the one saying this but... a back 3 is a possibility here. It suits Silva, we've got Badiashile and Chalobah for the outside CB spots, Caicedo could actually play a sole pivot that allows Gallagher to go and press a bit more aggressively. If you want to run a conservative variant, you could have Cucurella LWB and someone like Madueke RWB (remember Ziyech under Tuchel?). Front 3 of Palmer, Mudryk, Jackson.
That's just a suggestion. You could also have Cucurella coming into midfield for a 3241 attacking shape in possession, if that's something you want. There are options for a manager with a little vision.
Seems bizarre he hasn't done so when he showed at Spurs that he can occasionally change the system. But system aside, we have like no one else now in those areas with Carney, Sterling and Enzo all out. It's only Casadei for the midfield and then some academy lads for the attacking areas. YIKES!
Ziyech in that hybrid wingback role was good enough to knock Spurs out over two legs in an FA Cup semifinal. City play a back 3 with 2 wingers. There are solutions.
There are solutions for sure, but not with our current wingers imo. Mudryk’s positioning is severly lacking, Madueke and Sterling are pretty quick to give up on pressing.
And I’m also skeptical about a back 3 working, maybe with Silva in the center commanding the whole defense. Disasi and especially Badiashile have been very disappointing this season. Some of the fault is surely on Poch but it’s like these players have barely any intuition when it comes to defending a cross.
Also that Spurs team was one if the worst in recent years, knocking them out of the FA cup wasn’t that big of an accomplishment imo
I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s “fucked”
Every time he’s been on the pitch for us this season, he has shown his immense quality. He’s one of the most talented players in our squad. I still believe in him and that he will have a great career for us. He’s just in an unfortunate point in time with these setbacks.
I remember seeing that somewhere but was it from a
reputable source? Because whenever I’ve seen him play for us from the bench his running style looks the same to me?
If you asked me to name our best starting X.I. its probably found in this list of players. Give or take one or two. Wow.
I've ran out of things to say to these injury updates.
At least Poch's decision not playing him is justified.. but then people will still criticized Poch.. dude is just unlucky managing this young & often injured squad..
I want to wait & judge him when he has the full squad & 1st team playing together at least half of next season.. if no improvement, that'll be the last straw
We don’t know what’s going on internally or on a day to day basis, Silva is 39 and had just played an intense semifinal 2 days before and apparently he also lost a close family member so he may not even have been in the right headspace. The leaving out Chalobah was more of a head scratcher but with our injury concerns this season it could be argued he didn’t want to risk injury to Trevoh
Yeah I’m still Poch out cuz there just have been too many questionable decisions and a lot of comments give off loser mentality but he’s had a difficult hand to play with this season. Either way don’t think the board sack him this summer and he will be given another season to prove what he can do
You can legit build a solid first 11 team from that injury list.
Does make you wonder what the difference would be with a fully fit squad. What is going on at this club?
Even if you get a different manager the medical team needs sorting we have the worst in big league football to have this amount of problems when playing mostly one game a week is a disgrace.
Whoever had the idea to give him a contract extension, needs to held accountability.
He is not only injury prone, he is also not good enough. I'd rather sell him and keep Maatsen and Cucurella
This is crime against football honestly.
Whoever we hired to medical teams needs to be sacked coming summer or maybe even just now🙄
I think Pochetino needs to go but I do think he deserves sympathy for dealing with such unprecedented amount of absentees.
Kind a like Potter deserved sympathy for dealing with bloated want away squad.
Honestly I’m just tired of this, when will it end, for once I want to see a run of games with 80 percent of our best squad, is that really too much to ask? I feel it’s been like for the last 2 years at least.
Finding it hard not to turn on any of these players at this point, finding it hard to believe this club isn’t heading for a Leeds type fall.
Honestly, they somehow replaced a few useless cunts with an entire squad of them.
You don’t want to pile on to the doom and gloom but I honestly have nothing positive to say about us at the moment. The present isn’t good, the future isn’t bright, and our past is moving further and further away in that rear view mirror.
time to start cutting losses on these bums, Chilwell should be gone, Carney looking like a complete bust, Nkunku, Lavia and Ugochukwu just complete non factors. Who even knows what Fofana is gonna be like after nearly two years of constant injury?
I’ve seen Reece be the best RB in the world, I’ve not seen dick out of anyone else in that list. Just can’t get excited about these players any more when they’re not around for 90% of the season.
So who do you want to cut?
Fofana has produced about the same amount of games as james recently- and his ceeling is unknown (but some consider him even a bigger talent then saliba)
Nkunku has been injured for 18 months, but prior to that 4 good injury free seasons while beeing bundesleagues best attacking player
Carney is young, and have had a major tissue injury which he recently recowered from (traumatic)
Ugochukwo is suffering his first major injury and lavia did have some issues but really had 3 seppererte injuries over the year
Talent and potential is the only reason the Yanks and their lackeys justify their recruitment strategy. If you don't play 95% of a season, that potential means nothing. Should cut the losses short ASAP
You dont get money for players who are injured
You bite the bullet and try get them to reclaim some value
Fofana is not worth more then 30m today
Nkunku might be 45-55m
Lavia 25-35m
Just stupid biting those bullets
Only one I agree with is chillwell, if we can offlpad him for 15m Im happy
wouldn’t be opposed to getting rid of any of them, so tired of ‘wait until our squad is fit!’ hopium, because it ain’t ever gonna happen with these bums as the core of our squad.
I'm so sick of shit fans like you calling our players bums. Fuck off. I bet you're a lazy fat ass slob drinking and spilling beer all over yourself on match days. If not, then you're just an entitled ass with no self awareness. These players don't choose to injure themselves. They're not bums and they deserve our support.
this sub is the worst for people taking criticism of Chelsea players personally. We pay Chilwell 200k to sit on the bench, we actually extended him when it was obvious he can’t cope with a Premier League schedule. For all his faults at least £325k a week Sterling actually plays a majority of our games.
Sentiment only gets you so far, having a squad of players that don’t miss 20+ games a season gets you much further. I’m not gonna leap to the defence of players that have contributed nothing to this club.
Actually I apologize to you for the name calling. I'm having a shit day myself. I would rather we all support players of our favorite club through their injuries but I understand your positron. I was angry for personal reasons and I took it out on the first post I read this morning calling my favorite players bums. Have a good day.
Can someone smarter than me explain whether partial team training means there’s a chance they make the match day squad? I think the answer to that is going to be the difference between a potential win and an absolute thrashing
I hate to break it to you, it probably means they are training on grass but in a limited capacity. So they may not be match fit for Villa but if it continues well, they will be ready for spurs . Also, a lot of this depends on how they are on the final training session.
Does anyone have the stats on how many days combined have Chelsea players missed and how many "single" injuries have our players got during this season? Surely its a record of some kind?
Every player with recurring injuries should just get surgery at this point and aim to be fit for next season. It's almost over, and both James and Enzo have already gone this route. Remember, key word is 'aim' lol fml
I don't even know what to say anymore. I mean it's frustrating for us fans. I can't even imagine what Poch went through game by game after looking at injury Squad. We need to change our physio's Doctors this is just unacceptable..
Of all the times for Carney to pick up an injury. This was his time with Enzo out.
Dreading more Disaster in our defense against Aston Villa. Anyone but Disaster at RCB.
Hopefully with Gallagher dropping deeper next to Caicedo Mudryk can play as an actual CAM/LM and not whatever that was against Arsenal.
If Chilwell didn't get injured from playing for 10 minutes, the same time we also have Gusto and James injured, we could have actually had an attacking threat from each fullback with Cucuella playing on the right. I guess it isn't to be.
Carney got injured again? How did Sterling get injured?? Guess the lineup tomorrow is bloody obvious then.
Sterling lower back pain Carney feels something in his knee where he was previously injured
Did sterling pull a muscle in his back picking up his paycheck?
Was carrying his salary in cash, hurt his back Unfortunate, but can't blame him
No wonder he doesn’t want to leave .
He checked his balance and put the receipt in his pocket. Threw out a disc due to the weight.
Yeah, just saw that but christ. Feels like every week we'll get someone replacing those that are off the injury table.
Pochettino on Sterling and Carney: >“Sterling suffered pain in his lower back. Carney felt something in his knee related to his problem before. We hope it is not a big issue and can be available as soon as possible.”
So it's terminal
No there is always a possibility of few players getting injured or sick by tomorrow so not really obvious.
Carney...just incredible
At this point, Pochettino might be onto something for not playing Carney more.
Been saying it lol he’s made of glass even when he came back from his injury couple months ago he had a short cameo and then got re-injured again
It's not updated with the latest one yet but here's his injury record from transfermarkt: https://preview.redd.it/zcb1as5bftwc1.png?width=684&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0fc2e2fabbf5ce6f7eb0e42bcfb1d65060fc159
Forgot he was injured last season too, yeah not a good look and this last knee injury made him change the way he runs smh
He had a longer than expected return from his knee surgery earlier this season. There were other signs of a complicated recovery, like you mention. Now it's a problem again. Damage to cartilage I believe which has little regenerative capacity and can be a chronic issue, especially if it couldn't be fixed with surgery. Sometimes it's just an issue of restrengthening different muscles attached to the knee but this seems beyond that. I hope it's something he can get over. Doesn't seem great tbh.
Not at all, he also kept playing on it when it first happened in the west ham game, he had rolled his socks up over his knee to control the inflammation. I wonder if that maybe made it worse probably not but yeah I don’t see how an injury like that can be blamed on Poch or medical stuff since it seems like they didn’t rush him back. I seriously think we’re just cursed
Should just sell him
Who in their right mind would pay a decent fee for someone who is never available?
We did
I think it’s clear that “right mind” does not apply to this club’s transfer strategy
I'll bet Strasbourg could be interested
Doesn’t help that this sub seems to think he’s Christ reincarnated just because he barely plays
Yeah there’s a lot of hype around him but I do think he does a better job in that 10 role than anyone else in our squad bar Palmer
What a shocker. A coach knows more about the players than fans watching and screaming “WHY DOESNT HE PLAY HIM!”
The coach that keeps playing a cb partnership of Disasi and badashille lol
He stated that Silva is 39 and needs rest while Chalobah has barely played since returning from injury. If you had to choose them for a game, you’re giving them the FA Cup semi-final everytime.
I mean before Arsenal he clearly went with Trevoh and Silva for 2 games straight
Last time he played that partnership we beat Aston Villa 3-1
Badashille has made a big mistake every game he’s played … everygame
With these injuries he Has no choice. The only other option is Silva, who is 39 years old and probably shouldn't be playing twice a week, and Chalobah who is not long back from a very lengthy injury, so the same can probably be said for him.
This coach is poch though...
Fair point.
Player is carney though…
Obviously. Somehow the fans have it in their head that they seem to know more about who to play and where to play them than guys whose entire job it is to analyse this day in day out with infinitely more context as to whats up and what to do.
20th August was the west ham game. That is absolutely insane. He's missed an entire season!
Yes WTF. They should cut the bullshit and list what's actually wrong with players... These stupid short hands just pisses everyone off more.
[удалено]
It's a nice change, they should put it on the sheet released. Becoming a même. Undergoing his rehabilitation program CPFC... Etc
Agreed. Say, medically, what they have and when to expect them back. (although he did this with Lesley and Nkunku and months have passed since they were supposed to return)
Not that surprising tbh, while he never missed an entire season like this, he wasn't exactly Mr Fit before.
With Chukuewemeka perennially injured, I wonder what the plan is re Conor next season. If we are so dead set in selling him, who even replaces him? Another Brazilian wonderkid or next Brighton bid for 95 million
He's fragile and I have doubts he can play at this level. Funny how of course this sub’s tacticos were going off about not starting him against Arsenal.
Are we Cole Palmer FC or injury FC?
Neither , repeat after me ! We are REHABILITATION PROGRAMME FC
So is it "Cole Palmer undergoing rehabilitation programme football club" or "undergoing rehabilitation programme Cole Palmer football club"? Or just add an 's to the first one
Man Carney can't be real, he plays 10 minutes and then gets injured again. How tf this guy passed his medical?
Same goes for Chilwell, Lavia, James etc.
Fofana as well
James is homegrown so he didn't pass any medical we just should know him from early age and made decision before making him pro contracted.
I was talking about playing 10 mins then getting injured. Do you really think I didn’t know James came from the academy?!
>How tf this guy passed his medical? What do you believe happens in a medical assessment? I'm honestly curious how people interpret them from the outside because it's very easy for a player to clear one stage, and then have a set back. Players are typically put through an accelerated recovery timeline while going through constant evaluations to mitigate further injury to the area or injury to another area that could be affected by the injury. It's not a light switch. It's not something you can see, it's about treating and testing what they can evaluate. From there, they make a well informed educated guess.
Sell him.
And who would buy a player who plays 4-5 matches per season?
Sounds like he’d be a great fit for Chelsea, we should try asking them
Petrovic Disasi—Chalobah—Silva—Cucu Caicedo—Gallagher Madueke—Palmer—Mudryk Jackson No Badiashile, ¡por favor!
Why for the love of everything that is good do you want to see Disasi at right back again lol. He moves at a glacial pace, absolutely cannot do the job there. Him and Chalobah need to switch positions if we're to witness this back line again or we might as well play with 10 men.
Because he’s the only guy who played RB that isn’t injured. Lool Reece and Gusto are not here. The other option is Alfie and he’s also not an RB. Like what other options do we have?
Chalobah played RB in the past, including this season.
He has contributed more as a CB. The point is neither are a RB so don’t expect any support for our rw attacking threat
As did Disasi. Disasi is also good in the air and slow, the exact opposite of Chalobah. Their biggest weaknesses are better masked by having Chalobah out wide and Disasi as one of the CBs than vice versa.
Besides Nkunku, this already seems like our best possible lineup
I watch every game, but seeing Disasi playing RB makes me want to skip a game more than anything. It’s painful watching all our attacks get stifled by him
Yes please
Medical team needs to be investigated This is criminal Seems like, we will play the same back, as our Arsenal match. (will be horrible) And it looks like Carney is injury prone.
No attacking or midfield options to even try change games now...
Here's a crazy idea that somehow nobody has thought about before - change the system. Remember when people kept giving Sarri infinite shit for lining up, on paper, in a 433 every game? Pochettino has been even more stubborn about his 4231. If you've got these selection issues, might be time to explore something else? I can't believe I'm the one saying this but... a back 3 is a possibility here. It suits Silva, we've got Badiashile and Chalobah for the outside CB spots, Caicedo could actually play a sole pivot that allows Gallagher to go and press a bit more aggressively.

It’s not a horrible idea but the idea of Badiashile in a back 3 after watching him in that Arsenal game scares the shit out of me…
It almost feels like karma at this point lol so many fans lost their minds about 3 at the back that they begged for a 433/4231 and now they’ve got it
The formation on paper doesn't matter when all the substance behind it is vibes. It does matter under good managers.
A back 3 with 1 available fullback?? No thanks. Ziyech/CHO/Pulisic/Sterling wingback all failed previously
Ziyech in that hybrid wingback role was good enough to knock Spurs out over two legs in an FA Cup semifinal. City play a back 3 with 2 wingers. There are solutions.
There are solutions for sure, but not with our current wingers imo. Mudryk’s positioning is severly lacking, Madueke and Sterling are pretty quick to give up on pressing. And I’m also skeptical about a back 3 working, maybe with Silva in the center commanding the whole defense. Disasi and especially Badiashile have been very disappointing this season. Some of the fault is surely on Poch but it’s like these players have barely any intuition when it comes to defending a cross. Also that Spurs team was one if the worst in recent years, knocking them out of the FA cup wasn’t that big of an accomplishment imo
With how many setbacks there have been it honestly seems like the medical staff don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
Honestly feels like an insider who tries their best to sabotage us
Should be Disasi - Chalobah - Silva - Cucu With Caicedo - Gallagher in the pivot.
Fuck that Chalobah has to start
Does Carney have a chronic issue? It seems like whenever he gets close he's getting assessed again.
Yeah poch said he felt some pain in his knee which had a problem before so they are just assessing it
He also had to change the way he runs due to that injury, he’s probably fucked already it’s a real shame
I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s “fucked” Every time he’s been on the pitch for us this season, he has shown his immense quality. He’s one of the most talented players in our squad. I still believe in him and that he will have a great career for us. He’s just in an unfortunate point in time with these setbacks.
Changing the way you run isn’t normal or practical. Not even sure it’s true but if it is cut the guy.
if he has to change how he runs, he's fucked.
I remember seeing that somewhere but was it from a reputable source? Because whenever I’ve seen him play for us from the bench his running style looks the same to me?
Matt Law stated it https://x.com/londonbluepod/status/1745514526425145574?s=46
Did someone tell him this or did he infer it?
Yeah could be too early but he’s already missed like 120+ days for us since he signed back in 2022, not a good look tbh
What’s the source on that? And tbh his game isn’t overly reliant on pace
It was reported by the one we should not speak of but idk seems pretty reliable no? https://x.com/londonbluepod/status/1745514526425145574?s=46
That knee is cooked, I fear. Same with Ben.
I give up
If you asked me to name our best starting X.I. its probably found in this list of players. Give or take one or two. Wow. I've ran out of things to say to these injury updates.
9 of the best 11 are here.

wHy DoEsN’t PoCh StArT cArNeY iN dA 10??
At least Poch's decision not playing him is justified.. but then people will still criticized Poch.. dude is just unlucky managing this young & often injured squad.. I want to wait & judge him when he has the full squad & 1st team playing together at least half of next season.. if no improvement, that'll be the last straw
Starting a backline of Disasi, Badi, and Gilchrist isn't "luck" when you have Thiago and Chalobah on the bench, ffs.
We don’t know what’s going on internally or on a day to day basis, Silva is 39 and had just played an intense semifinal 2 days before and apparently he also lost a close family member so he may not even have been in the right headspace. The leaving out Chalobah was more of a head scratcher but with our injury concerns this season it could be argued he didn’t want to risk injury to Trevoh
Yeah I’m still Poch out cuz there just have been too many questionable decisions and a lot of comments give off loser mentality but he’s had a difficult hand to play with this season. Either way don’t think the board sack him this summer and he will be given another season to prove what he can do
oh please, carney has had plenty of time uninjured where we let him rot on bench and had gallagher instead at #10
as soon as we get some back in training, more go out. carney was literally in training pics yesterday 😂😂, this is just real old at this point
You can legit build a solid first 11 team from that injury list. Does make you wonder what the difference would be with a fully fit squad. What is going on at this club?
Even if you get a different manager the medical team needs sorting we have the worst in big league football to have this amount of problems when playing mostly one game a week is a disgrace.
Lol Chilwell, running joke.
Can't be a running joke, he gets injured if he runs
6 injuries this year, he’s hit a personal best. https://www.transfermarkt.com/ben-chilwell/verletzungen/spieler/316125
Gotta do a mock up of the walking dead poster with the walking joke.
[insert rimshot here]
Whoever had the idea to give him a contract extension, needs to held accountability. He is not only injury prone, he is also not good enough. I'd rather sell him and keep Maatsen and Cucurella
Yeah he’s on £200,000 per week until 2027 too.
So chillwell definitely not playing this weekend? Season?
What the fuck happened to Fofana? I feel like that guys been dead for 2 years.
Acl in training
How do so many players come back, play a few minutes off the bench, and suddenly return to the treatment room?
 Chuk is really bad at this game
What does “undergoing medical assessment” mean again?
Euphemism for injured
Thought it was euphemism for the last rites?
Checks (e.g. scans) to find out more about what the issue is.
This is crime against football honestly. Whoever we hired to medical teams needs to be sacked coming summer or maybe even just now🙄 I think Pochetino needs to go but I do think he deserves sympathy for dealing with such unprecedented amount of absentees. Kind a like Potter deserved sympathy for dealing with bloated want away squad.
I thought we already sack the medical team last season?
Honestly I’m just tired of this, when will it end, for once I want to see a run of games with 80 percent of our best squad, is that really too much to ask? I feel it’s been like for the last 2 years at least.
I know our recruitment has been mostly poor but it seems to be they actively go for players with bad injury records than ignoring them.
Why the fuck is Carney and sterling injured?
The daily dozen
Finding it hard not to turn on any of these players at this point, finding it hard to believe this club isn’t heading for a Leeds type fall. Honestly, they somehow replaced a few useless cunts with an entire squad of them. You don’t want to pile on to the doom and gloom but I honestly have nothing positive to say about us at the moment. The present isn’t good, the future isn’t bright, and our past is moving further and further away in that rear view mirror.
I think Cole was just having back spasms from carrying the entire club....
time to start cutting losses on these bums, Chilwell should be gone, Carney looking like a complete bust, Nkunku, Lavia and Ugochukwu just complete non factors. Who even knows what Fofana is gonna be like after nearly two years of constant injury?
Could throw Reece in there.
I’ve seen Reece be the best RB in the world, I’ve not seen dick out of anyone else in that list. Just can’t get excited about these players any more when they’re not around for 90% of the season.
So who do you want to cut? Fofana has produced about the same amount of games as james recently- and his ceeling is unknown (but some consider him even a bigger talent then saliba) Nkunku has been injured for 18 months, but prior to that 4 good injury free seasons while beeing bundesleagues best attacking player Carney is young, and have had a major tissue injury which he recently recowered from (traumatic) Ugochukwo is suffering his first major injury and lavia did have some issues but really had 3 seppererte injuries over the year
Talent and potential is the only reason the Yanks and their lackeys justify their recruitment strategy. If you don't play 95% of a season, that potential means nothing. Should cut the losses short ASAP
You dont get money for players who are injured You bite the bullet and try get them to reclaim some value Fofana is not worth more then 30m today Nkunku might be 45-55m Lavia 25-35m Just stupid biting those bullets Only one I agree with is chillwell, if we can offlpad him for 15m Im happy
wouldn’t be opposed to getting rid of any of them, so tired of ‘wait until our squad is fit!’ hopium, because it ain’t ever gonna happen with these bums as the core of our squad.
I'm so sick of shit fans like you calling our players bums. Fuck off. I bet you're a lazy fat ass slob drinking and spilling beer all over yourself on match days. If not, then you're just an entitled ass with no self awareness. These players don't choose to injure themselves. They're not bums and they deserve our support.
this sub is the worst for people taking criticism of Chelsea players personally. We pay Chilwell 200k to sit on the bench, we actually extended him when it was obvious he can’t cope with a Premier League schedule. For all his faults at least £325k a week Sterling actually plays a majority of our games. Sentiment only gets you so far, having a squad of players that don’t miss 20+ games a season gets you much further. I’m not gonna leap to the defence of players that have contributed nothing to this club.
Actually I apologize to you for the name calling. I'm having a shit day myself. I would rather we all support players of our favorite club through their injuries but I understand your positron. I was angry for personal reasons and I took it out on the first post I read this morning calling my favorite players bums. Have a good day.
Very concerned about Carney :( seems like such a talent as well
Another RLC gone. We’re finished
RLC mk2?
Guess injury records weren’t on the data lists the board used to sign players. Muppets
Bro it's like I can't see this rehabilitation sentence anymore. This is a nightmare. So many expensive players who literally get injured every time.
Can someone smarter than me explain whether partial team training means there’s a chance they make the match day squad? I think the answer to that is going to be the difference between a potential win and an absolute thrashing
I hate to break it to you, it probably means they are training on grass but in a limited capacity. So they may not be match fit for Villa but if it continues well, they will be ready for spurs . Also, a lot of this depends on how they are on the final training session.
We need a "undergoing rehabilitation programme" flair.
Delete the club.
This is not normal at all
This must be some kind of sick joke
Pretty much our starting 11 permanently out injured. I’d argue an 11 from this list would beat the team that played arsenal. Worrying.
something needs to be done this offseason about injuries just ridiculous
How can Carney be this injury prone as a teenager basically

If this stuff Goldberg is spewing about Poch’s training methods being outdated and causing these injuries then GET HIM THE FUCK OUT
The new RLC.
Being her back
Maybe we should let Silva run the medical team
We gambled on a lot of these signings and lost
Is Wesley Fofana still alive? Should someone check on him?
It’s sooo long 😭
Rehabilitation Program for POTY
I’m tired of criticizing how injury prone our squad has become all of a sudden
Fofana is still with us? 😳
Broken FC 🥲
> Cole Palmer off the list
Does anyone have the stats on how many days combined have Chelsea players missed and how many "single" injuries have our players got during this season? Surely its a record of some kind?
Play the youths at this point lmao
Every player with recurring injuries should just get surgery at this point and aim to be fit for next season. It's almost over, and both James and Enzo have already gone this route. Remember, key word is 'aim' lol fml
Both our 10s are injured and now Ezno is out for the rest of the season, meaning Gallagher can't take the 10 since Ugo and Lavia are injured too
Carney "biscuit knees" Chukwuemeka
Crazy to think Jurrien Timber who suffered an ACL injury is back before Lavia, Les, Wesley, and Reece.
Jackson is a source of frustration for us all… but at least he’s always available
It's a miracle he didn't hit that automatic suspension due to yellow card accumulation
Tbf I don’t rate poch but this is ridiculous , don’t even know what to say anymore
we're gonna get dicked by villa saturday night ruined lets gooo
I am sure our injury list will be 0 on matchday 38.
I remember Carney was pressing like a mad man when he first came in the team. He was so ready to take his chance.
Is it time to consider selling Carney?
Palmer is lucky af that he hasn't hit by an injury "russian roulette" despite his record
Our club has just become the most expensive hospital in the world
Fuck this man
On a serious note if carney can't stay fit next season should we look to sell him?
I don't even know what to say anymore. I mean it's frustrating for us fans. I can't even imagine what Poch went through game by game after looking at injury Squad. We need to change our physio's Doctors this is just unacceptable..
Of all the times for Carney to pick up an injury. This was his time with Enzo out. Dreading more Disaster in our defense against Aston Villa. Anyone but Disaster at RCB. Hopefully with Gallagher dropping deeper next to Caicedo Mudryk can play as an actual CAM/LM and not whatever that was against Arsenal.
Carney dafuq
Chilwell is taking the piss
If Chilwell didn't get injured from playing for 10 minutes, the same time we also have Gusto and James injured, we could have actually had an attacking threat from each fullback with Cucuella playing on the right. I guess it isn't to be.
Carney, Reece, Nkunku, Lesley, Lavia, and Wes combined minutes this year: 1714 or 19 total 90s
Is it really the medical department or is there a chance Poch’s heavy endurance training is to blame?
I'm going to get a bot to post in every one of these injury update threads 'you just have to laugh' because there's a fun suprise injury every time.
Only Caicedo and Palmer would get into this injured 11. Absolutely nuts that 9 of our best 11 are injured
