In an official statement, Chelsea Football Club provided supporters with an update on the status of club captain Reece James’ injury.
The announcement made public today, Tuesday, December 12, 2023, verified that the England international had sustained a hamstring injury and will start the healing process.
To the dismay of supporters, the official statement—which acted as a player injury update—did not specify the duration of Reece James’ absence from the team.
Chelsea’s terrible trip to Goodison Park, where the Blues suffered their seventh loss of the year, saw Reece James come on as a substitute in the first half.
Erick Pochettino discussed which players will miss Crystal Palace versus. Chelsea because of injuries during his pregame press conference.
The head coach of Chelsea revealed that a player who played in the team’s FA Cup triumph over Aston Villa earlier in the week would indeed be absent. Pochettino also talked about the potential for additional players to make a comeback from injury and feature in Monday, February 12, 2024’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
Benoit Badiashile may not be available for Chelsea before their encounter against Crystal Palace due to a knock he sustained during the FA Cup second-leg playoff match at Villa Park, according to Pochettino’s pre-game press conference.
Benoit will still undergo testing before to the game, he said, but as of right now, he is unable to affirm or deny his match fitness status.
“Benoit, we need to assess him; we still need to wait for the scan,” said Pochettino. It’s his rear end. We will find out more this afternoon, so hopefully it’s not a major problem.”
He also disclosed that Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill, who have returned to full-time training with the team, might provide Chelsea with a major player boost ahead of the match. To find out if these players will be ready for the Monday game, he clarified that they would need to go through a match fitness test.
