‘Sack Entire Medical Team’ – Chelsea Fans Rage After THREE More Players Join Injury List

Chelsea announced three further injury absences prior to the Premier League’s return, which infuriated Chelsea supporters.

On Thursday, the Blues provided an update regarding the club’s injury predicament, stating that Robert Sanchez, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Trevoh Chalobah had all been added to their extensive injured list. Although none of the three players played during the international break, they have all developed ailments. The news comes after it was confirmed earlier this week that Romeo Lavia, the summer addition, will miss the remainder of the season due to a thigh injury. This has left Chelsea fans furious about the injury situation.

Chelsea fan @CFCMod called on action to be taken: “Do you know how insane it is that we have a goalkeeper getting injured back to back in one season? They need to sack the entire medical team, this is beyond normal.”

Another supporter Alex Goldberg could hardly believe the news: “NINE (9) Players on the latest injury report. I honestly give up with this medical team, this is beyond abnormal.”

And @CFCDaily wrote on X: “Launch an investigation!”

Meanwhile, supporter @CFCPys felt Mauricio Pochettino may be at fault, responding to the news with: “Maybe it’s his methods that are causing them?”

Chelsea writer Simon Phillips was also shocked by the news: “Three more added to Chelsea’s injury list today. When will anyone at the club be held accountable for this? They should be putting out a statement at this point, it’s beyond shocking.”

Meanwhile, Guardian reporter Jacob Steinberg had some sympathy for Pochettino: “Carney Chukwuemeka, Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah back on Chelsea’s injury list. Pochettino’s problems are never ending.”

And The Athletic’s Simon Johnson had a wry take on the situation, adding: “The consistency of ‘Injured FC’ is remarkable.”

Pochettino is clearly out of alternatives for Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League match on Saturday against Burnley. A “knock” could cause Ben Chilwell to miss the game, according to the Chelsea manager, and Enzo Fernandez has not yet returned from his Argentina international duties.

Chelsea will be looking to keep up their four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions when they visit Burnley at Stamford Bridge. Burnley, who is currently in serious relegation danger but recently defeated Brentford 2-1 in the Premier League, will be up against the Blues.
