Chelsea Receives Boost as Chilwell and Sanchez Near Return from Injuries
In a significant development for Chelsea, left-back Ben Chilwell is poised to make a triumphant return to training after battling a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since September. Sources suggest that the English international’s comeback is imminent, providing a much-needed boost for manager Mauricio Pochettino. Chilwell’s absence has been felt keenly, and his return could not come at a better time for the Blues.
Chilwell, eyeing a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming European Championships, aims for a sustained period in the side to showcase his skills. The player, who has grappled with muscular injuries in recent seasons, is determined to maintain fitness throughout the remainder of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is also set to welcome back goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who is expected to be available in the next couple of weeks. The Spaniard suffered a knee injury during the match against Manchester United and exacerbated it in the subsequent game against Everton. Djordje Petrovic has deputized admirably in Sanchez’s absence, delivering standout performances that include a clean sheet on his full Premier League debut against Sheffield United and a crucial penalty save in the shootout win over Newcastle United.
Pochettino acknowledged the challenge of Sanchez’s injury, stating, “It is an injury that’s going to be for a few weeks. I don’t know if two, three, four, five or six. We will assess day-by-day to know how to follow it.” The manager emphasized that Sanchez’s recovery timeline remains uncertain and depends on the player’s response and knee condition.
As Chelsea anticipates the return of these key players, the team looks to strengthen its position in the Premier League. The resurgence of Chilwell and Sanchez could prove pivotal in Chelsea’s pursuit of success in domestic and European competitions. Fans eagerly await the duo’s return, hoping they will play instrumental roles in the team’s quest for silverware.
