Mauricio Pochettino’s news conference this afternoon was preceded by Chelsea’s new custom of providing a “injury report,” American-style.
The latest news from our busy physio room is included in this week’s edition.
The player is now off the list, which is the most essential thing. Although Mykhailo Mudryk is obviously regarded as fully fit, we don’t anticipate him to have a major role tomorrow.
Two players, Armando Broja and Benoit Badiashile, are described as having shifted from rehabilitation work to team training. Romeo Lavia, who wasn’t hurt but had missed so much of Southampton’s preseason, is now with them. He needed a week of individualized training to catch up because he had missed so much of preseason.
After the upcoming international break, they should all be prepared for selection, but as Pochettino stated earlier this week, none of them will be available on Saturday.
As usual, we anticipate the manager providing more in-depth updates later on as he discusses tomorrow’s game against Nottingham Forest.
