Chelsea and Manchester United seriously keen on signing Barcelona defender Jules Kounde
Chelsea will host Newcastle United and have received a welcome boost as per Football. London, Marc Cucurella, Thiago Silva, Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile will be fit to face the Magpies. However, Cucurella and Silva were unused substitutes in the 2-2 draw with Brentford. One can agree that Mauricio Pochettino didn’t want to risk as they recently recovered from an injury.
It seems like Chelsea have become a synonym for injury, given the number of injured players they have at their disposal. It hasn’t been a sunny day for the Blues following the start of this season, as they continue to struggle without many first-team starters.
Injuries have been one of the main factors contributing to the Blues’ poor run this campaign, as the Argentine manager hasn’t had a chance to use his full squad as most of them have remained on the sidelines.
Relapses from injuries have been the standard at Chelsea, and it has become a source of frustration for both the team and manager, Pochettino hasn’t been able to deploy a fully functional roster since the beginning of the current season.
Pochettino could use Silva and Badiashile and give the rest to Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill, who have played two games in the same week after a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
It’s very important to keep in mind, and the Argentine manager should use the depth of the defence. Meanwhile, he can also employ Cucurella at left back instead of Ben Chilwell and Romeo Lavia in Enzo Fernandez’s position.
The rotation of the players is very important. Pochettino can also use the Spanish left-back as a right-back, given that Malo Gusto seems to have been overused in the last few matches, and playing him frequently could cause fatigue in the player, who could run a risk of suffering an injury.
As the months progress, we will have more players available, as Reece James has started grass training and might return in April. The same could be said for Christopher Nkunku.
