Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca provided an update on the team's injury woes, expressing cautious optimism about the recovery timelines for key players Reece James and Wesley Fofana, while also addressing Mykhaylo Mudryk's recent illness.
Maresca confirmed that both James and Fofana are showing signs of improvement but emphasized that they are still weeks away from returning to full fitness. James, who has been plagued by hamstring injuries, suffered another setback during training on November 10, 2024. Despite undergoing a scan, the severity of his injury remains unclear, and Chelsea is not putting a definitive timeline on his return.
Fofana, on the other hand, sustained a hamstring injury during Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on November 26, 2024. Maresca revealed that Fofana's injury is more severe, potentially sidelining him for 10 to 12 games, including the festive fixture schedule.
Mudryk's Illness
Mudryk's recent illness has also been a cause for concern. Maresca confirmed that Mudryk is currently ill, but the team is hopeful for a swift recovery.
Midweek Match Result
Chelsea's midweek match saw them secure a dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton on December 4, 2024. The team's performance was particularly impressive given the numerous changes Maresca had to make due to injuries.
Upcoming Match
Looking ahead, Chelsea is set to face Tottenham in a highly anticipated London derby this weekend. Despite the injury setbacks, Maresca remains confident in his squad's ability to perform and secure positive results.
