Chelsea’s concerns with injuries persist as they gear up to take on West Ham United in a pivotal Premier League London derby this Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
Despite their roster being depleted, the Blues showcased resilience in their commendable 2-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. The absence of 14 key players, including stalwarts like Reece James, Raheem Sterling, and Ben Chilwell, didn’t hinder Chelsea’s ability to secure the victory.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino seemed poised to celebrate a win without further fitness setbacks, but Alfie Gilchrist’s late injury necessitated an unexpected substitution, offering debutant Josh Acheampong a chance to shine. While there’s been no official update on Gilchrist’s condition, initial signs indicate it might not be a severe issue.
