Chelsea will play again in the EFL Cup tomorrow night, and they have now released their most recent injury report.
Winger Noni Madueke has resumed full squad training, according to the usual item published on the official website. He had been sidelined for several weeks owing to an injury.
Madueke has had a particularly tough season because he hasn’t been able to get any consistent playing time at Stamford Bridge.
Since his £30 million transfer to Chelsea back in January, his time there has essentially been one of few appearances, most of which have come off the bench.
He has only made one start in the league and played a total of three minutes since October due to injuries and other factors.
Earlier in the season, Mauricio Pochettino publicly expressed his displeasure with certain off-field activities that resulted in the Englishman being benched despite not having an injury.
Back to full training, Madueke
Even though he supposedly turned into a role model trainer after this occurrence, his playing time hasn’t increased as of yet.
Madueke does have a decent chance tomorrow because of the remaining matchups and the possibility of rotation.
Chelsea’s best chance to win a trophy this season is now in the EFL Cup, as Mauricio Pochettino is obviously hoping to add another one to the club’s impressive trophy collection.
In order to exact retribution for Newcastle United’s misdeeds against them in the league a few weeks prior, he might therefore be aiming to field his strongest team for the visit.
At St. James’ Park, they were soundly defeated, and Reece James was sent off just in time to sustain an injury that would need him to miss another extended period of time from the game.
