Chelsea major injury boost as 4 Chelsea stars could return against Manchester City.
According to Standard, the return of key players like Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi, Enzo Fernandez, and Levi Colwill will undoubtedly bolster Chelsea FC’s squad ahead of their FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester City. Their presence will provide valuable depth and quality to the team, offering more options for Mauricio Pochettino as he prepares his lineup for the crucial match.
The morale-boosting 6-0 victory over Everton served as a timely reminder of Chelsea’s capabilities, especially following some recent setbacks against lower-ranked opponents. The team’s ability to bounce back and secure a convincing win demonstrates their resilience and determination to compete at the highest level.
With important fixtures on the horizon, including the FA Cup semi-final and the remaining Premier League matches, having a fully fit squad will be crucial for Chelsea’s ambitions. The return of these key players will provide a much-needed boost as the team aims to finish the season strongly and compete for silverware on multiple fronts.
After playing 90 minutes against Sheffield United the previous week, Fernandez left out of the matchday squad against Everton as he underwent a medical evaluation. He could be able to participate in the FA Cup matchup against Manchester City.
It’s unclear why Axel Disasi is having medical evaluation, but he is also under evaluation. Disasi did not make the matchday squad, but he did start against Sheffield United and expected to return against Everton. Disasi’s injuries were not as serious as Enzo’s, and he may play again in the FA Cup match.
This season, Sterling has been largely healthy, and he was included in the Sheffield United matchday squad. Since then, he hasn’t participated in any training; initially, he missed it because of back issues, and then, he became sick. Pochettino stated, “He is suffering from vomiting.” The star may make a comeback in the FA Cup match, but nothing is official as of yet.
Colwill has been out since Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Brentford on March 2 due to a toe injury he sustained during the game. He has been struggling with the ailment since Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace on February 12. Colwill warmed up on the sidelines of Chelsea’s match against Everton and has been taking part in light training. His potential return remains unknown.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s job ahead of his side’s clash against Everton is now much harder following a series of injury setbacks in the week building up to the bout.
Chelsea, who seemed like they may finish in the bottom half, are suddenly vying for a spot in the European competition. With two games remaining, they are one point behind West Ham in eighth place, while with one game remaining and a superior goal difference, they are three points behind Manchester United.
