Chelsea‘s hard luck doesn’t seem to come off their fate so easily, with another player coming on with a potential injury, Chelsea fans seems to be concerned about the future. Now after a couple of weeks of international football, we now move back to club football. With Chelsea preparing to face Bournemouth this Sunday in the Premier League. But with team facing series of injuries, they have yet added another name to the list. This time it is young Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.
Filip Jorgensen, The New Name To The Injured List
Filip Jorgensen, who was making headlines with the U-21 Denmark National Team, was forced to leave the field during their match against the Czech Republic. While the extent of injury still unclear, it has definitely left Chelsea fans and management worried. According to Denmark U-21 coach Steffen Højer, who subbed off Jorgensen immediately, felt that the injury was quite serious. But for now his injury will be evaluated by the Chelsea medical team at Cobham.
Højer didn’t have much to clarify, but he said, “I don’t actually know. I don’t actually know how bad it went, but at least it was bad enough that he had to go off. I just asked if he was okay. He is annoyed that he had to go off. Hopefully it is not something that is bad.”
Chelsea Injury List
Filip Jorgensen, the newly added player to the Chelsea injury list. Along side him are other players too like Romeo Lavia, a key player for the Blues, who has shown signs of improvement which suggests that he might be available soon. Yet things are uncertain as on till when we can actually expect to see him back in the mid field. Another huge name is Cole Palmer, who withdrew his name from the England National Side due to fatigue. Even though he will be available for the clash against Bournemouth, yet Chelsea will have to use their key players strategically if they are looking for a long run.
Although Chelsea have one of the biggest roster this season after heavy spendings on this transfer season. The injuries are still a matter of concern as it has left their boss Enzo Maresca again with some limited choices.
How Serious Is It For Chelsea?
As per current scenario, Filip Jorgensen is still a younger player and not a regular starter for the Blues. Yet any injury is no less than a headache for the Blues. Maresca does have a strong and huge squad, yet these continous setbacks are not easy to overcome. With Robert Sánchez still the first choice goalkeeper, the injury of Jorgensen has left Maresca with fewer options. And if Sánchez get injured down the line, then it can be a huge problem for Chelsea.
Now along side with concern, This scenario has also left Chelsea fans disrupted. It is difficult for them to watch their squad getting slim with every passing week. Sending their players to for the international duty to represent their national is making everyone regret their decision. Anyways all that they can do is hope for their to get back soon and get their team going once again on the title hunt.
Chelsea vs Bournemouth: The Match To Look After
Now despite all the setbacks, Chelsea will now have to turn their focus towards the next challenge, which is the clash against Bournemouth. And with some players injured, Maresca will have to make some changes in the starting lineup. Now the good thing is that, this is only the start of the season and there is still time to recover. And if Chelsea wants to stand up as a serious title contenders and end up in top 4 spot then they would need their entire squad with full strength.
Palmer training with the squad is another positive aspect, as he might be available for the game against Bournemouth. But nevertheless, Chelsea medical team will still remain busy considering the present scenario.
Conclusion
As per now, Chelsea injury list seems to be concerning, with the latest addition of Filip Jorgensen. Even though he isn’t as crucial as other injured players, yet his absence does weaken the depth of the squad. Especially, this is the time of the season where many teams look to gain momentum. At the moment we can say that Chelsea fans must be looking towards more update as they know how important it is for them to get their entire squad back in a firing form if they want to get their hands on the title this season.
