Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has already personally alluded to the fact that he will most likely be out of contention to start in defence for the upcoming Premier League assignment on the weekend against a tough West Ham United side. Tuchel stated he was ‘worried’ at having to potentially deal with another injury concern after the central defender went down midway through the second period.
Thomas Tuchel said: “The most worried I am is about the injury on Trevoh Chalobah. We got a lot of hits today. The doctor was on the field, 20 times it felt like, to treat players. It’s a big loss with Trevoh. We have already some injured key players so I am worried about that because the next game is Saturday at 12:30.”
More worryingly, Chalobah took to social media straight away after the incident with a rather telling indictment on the severity of the situation. When reacting to his personal blow on Twitter, the defender simply put a sad emoji when updating an anxious Chelsea cohort who are now sweating on where their title challenge could go with players succumbing to injuries.
