Chelsea give a full injury update ahead of Tottenham showdown

In what will certainly be a heavyweight London derby on Monday night, Chelsea have given a full injury update ahead of their showdown against Tottenham.

 

The Blues still dealing with a stacked injury list

Still battling it out in the bottom-half of the Premier League table and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Chelsea have also been struggling with what is a stacked treatment room.

While the Blues might have once again broken the bank during the summer transfer window, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have struggled to find any kind of first-team fluidity.

Ahead of what will be a fiery trip to north London on Monday night, the former Tottenham boss will once again be without a string of superstar options.

In fact, Pochettino’s side will make the trip to north London without the likes of Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Brja, Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku.

However, after returning to first-team training this week, Mykhailo Mudryk is expected to make a return to Chelsea’s travelling squad.

Pochettino discusses his return to Spurs

Ahead of what will be a first return to north London since leaving Spurs four years ago, Pochettino will certainly steal most of the headlines on Monday night.

Guiding Tottenham to their first-ever Champions League final back in 2019, the ex-Spurs boss has been discussing how Monday’s showdown will be a ‘happy day’.

“I said the only teams I would never manage are Arsenal and Barcelona.”

“It is a strange feeling to come back to Spurs after four years… but it’s gonna be a happy day. I feel Spurs can really win the league, they’re doing an excellent job.”
