Sad news for Chelsea fans as two Chelsea stars set to miss final games of the season
Chelsea supporters had plenty to cheer about in terms of injuries last week when Reece James, Christopher Nkunku, and Malo Gusto all returned to action.
Lesley Ugochukwu was even on the bench during the Saturday matchup with Nottingham Forest, having been sidelined for some time.
On that front, things are truly starting to come together, despite the fact that Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka’s current whereabouts are still a mystery. We can quite safely declare that they have played their final game of the season with just one week remaining and no new updates on their status from the manager.
Chilwell was out from the end of September until January, and had just worked his way back into the team with a series of 90 minute showings in March before suddenly disappearing from the picture again after rather prematurely being called up for international duty. We’ve constantly been expecting him back soon, but without hearing anything concrete his return date has just drifted gradually away to the point that we don’t feel it’s likely we see him in either of the two remaining games.
Chukwuemeka is much the same story – an injury in the Autumn which kept him out until the new year, then a scattering of minutes here and there before disappearing again in April.
In both cases, we’ve really been left in the dark on their status and what their current issue is. All we can really say now is that it’s unlikely we see them again this season.
