Chelsea is currently grappling with multiple injury concerns as key players Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Levi Colwill remain sidelined. While Colwill has resumed training, James and Chalobah are still on the road to recovery. The Guardian has reported that James might make his return later this month or in early May. Chalobah, dealing with an ankle injury, is also eyeing a similar timeline for his comeback. Meanwhile, Jamie Gittens and Filip Jorgensen are among other Chelsea stars currently unavailable, with Jorgensen expected back soon, and Gittens facing a fresh setback with a hamstring injury.
Liam Rosenior said: “Reece is getting along really well, but he’s not ready yet. I don’t know [in terms of a return date] yet.”
Liam Rosenior said: “Trevoh is progressing really, really well. I don’t know [in terms of a return date] yet.”
Liam Rosenior said: “It’s great to have Levi back in full training, but it’s going to take him a few more weeks to tick those boxes before he’s ready [to feature].”
The latest updates indicate that Reece James is recovering from another hamstring injury, a concern that had kept him out of action for a significant period. Despite initial fears about his season being over, there is optimism about his return. Trevoh Chalobah, who was stretchered off during the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, is also making good progress. Levi Colwill, having been in team training for almost a month, is still working towards full match fitness.
Jamie Gittens was nearing a return before a fresh hamstring issue in training delayed his comeback. Unfortunately, no specific timeline is available for his return. Benoit Badiashile, who missed Chelsea’s last three games due to illness, is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Manchester City on April 12. Filip Jorgensen, after undergoing minor surgery, is also anticipated to return for the same fixture.
Chelsea’s injury list has undoubtedly impacted their squad depth, but the gradual return of these players could bolster their prospects in the remaining fixtures of the season.
