Injury News: How injured Chelsea stars are faring ahead of their EFL Cup tie vs Southampton
Courtesy of Football.London, here is the latest on the injury front regarding first-team Chelsea stars N'Golo Kante, Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, and Christian Pulisic as the Blues gear up to face Southampton this week.
Chelsea have a wealth of attacking reinforcements in their squads but quite a few of them have succumbed to injuries in the early part of the season. Despite this, the Blues have carried on in a resolute manner. Here is the latest update on these players.
N’Golo Kante
The French midfielder failed to play against Norwich in their exhilarating 7-0 victory against the Canaries. Kante had a great game against Malmo FF in their latest UEFA Champions League fixture and it is believed that the midfielder felt some muscle tightness in the aftermath of the CL tie.
Simon Johnson from the Athletic (h/t Football. London) feels that his omission was just a precaution and he should be fit for selection in their EFL Cup tie against the Saints.
Timo Werner
The German International had to be subbed off in their CL tie against Malmo. The former RB Leipzig forward seemed to be regaining his form but a hamstring injury means that there is no confirmation as to when he will be available for selection again.
Thomas Tuchel commented on the situation of the 25-year-old forward earlier this week.
