Chelsea squad update: Injuries and suspension make things worse
If dropping points at home wasn’t already a bad news for them, the Blues also have a major blow to deal with now. As per chelsea.news, both Madueke and Levi Colwill left the pitch in some pain. Fans will be hoping it’s nothing too serious. At the same time, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella will be suspended for the upcoming league game. The duo ended up picking their 5th bookings. As a result, they will not be available. Enzo Maresca has a lot of changes to make in Chelsea squad before the next game.
Liverpool challenge awaits
The Blues will be facing the league leaders in the game week 8. The Anfield Reds have been great so far. They have only dropped points once so far. As of now, they top the league rankings with a point to their good. Playing Liverpool at Anfield is never easy. And as for Chelsea, they already have plenty of squad rotation to do. But, they do have an extra week of time to prepare as the international break dawns upon us. At the same time, none of the injuries didn’t look serious. So, Maresca may not face that big of a problem. But, the defense could certainly be an issue.
