Things may be difficult for Chelsea right now, but the team is still loaded with quality when everyone is healthy. This article takes a look on how Chelsea could line up with Joao Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk in attack.
Particularly after the £88 million arrival of Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk, who came from Atletico Madrid on loan.
On Sunday, Mykhailo Mudryk left Shakhtar Donetsk and was acquired for £88 million.
Chelsea is now TENTH in the Premier League standings, ten points behind fourth-place Manchester United.
But when Blues manager Graham Potter finally has a fit and firing squad, he'll be looking to push his team up the standings.
In recent weeks, Potter has been obliged to employ an improvised backline.
When healthy, Reece James and Ben Chilwell constitute a mean-looking defense on either side of Thiago Silva and Wesley Fofana.
Additionally absent due to injury was goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
When healthy, N'Golo Kante is another assured starter, but the Frenchman hasn't on the field since August.
And any defense on earth would be terrified of a front three consisting of Raheem Sterling, Felix, and Mudryk.
Even players like Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Armando Broja, Marc Cucurella, and newly acquired Benoit Badiashile might not start against a fully fit squad.
While Felix is serving a ban after receiving a red card on his debut at Fulham, Sterling is another player who is now receiving medical attention.
Potter is now suffering with an injury dilemma.
Hakim Ziyech, Carney Chukwuemeka, Conor Gallagher, and other players have seen more regular competitive action as a result.
Lewis Hall, an 18-year-old left-back, has also shown he has a lot of future promise.
Sunday's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace marked the Blues' third Premier League victory in as many games.
In order to have a completely fit squad to pick from, Potter will be counting down the days.
particularly with a crucial Champions League matchup against Borussia Dortmund coming up.
