Chelsea provide injury updates for Chalobah and Chukwuemeka

Injuries are affecting several European teams. Chelsea, who have had injuries since the start of the season, are one of the teams most in need of strengthening their squad in the January transfer window as they have many players sidelined.

Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka were already expected to return to action but when they tried to rejoin the squad, they were injured again. The Blues released a statement providing injury updates.

"Defender Trevoh Chalobah and midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka have both suffered recent setbacks in their bid to return from respective injuries sustained earlier this season. The duo will now go under further review before continuing their rehabilitation at Cobham with the club’s medical staff," they wrote.

Furthermore, Reece James' recovery from injury appears to have suffered a setback. The defender may not be available for the Premier League game against Arsenal as Pochettino does not want to take any risks with the captain.
