The team coached by Mauricio Pochettino has only one victory to its nаme so far this season; it was a 3-0 victory over Luton Town, which had just been promoted, a month ago. They will be looking to pick up all three points this weekend.
Even though they had a number of opportunities to score against AFC Bournemouth in their most recent match, they were forced to settle for a scoreless draw. Robert Sanchez was ultimately responsible for keeping Chelsea in the game and assuring that they would lose the match.
Pochettino is eager for his Chelsea club to go back on the winning track so that they can move back up the table and pass Chelsea, who are now in 14th place.
Pochettino did not have Benoit Badiashile available for the Blues as they prepared for the match. The central defender was making his way back from a hamstring ιnjury; however, it was stated by Nathan Gissing that the 22-year-old experienced a’minor setback’ last week and has since returned to individual training. He is currently working on his recovery.
Badiashile is looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with his team after their match against Aston Villa and before their Carabao Cup third round match against Brighton & Hove Albion on the following Wednesday.
While this was going on, Moises Caicedo was away with Ecuador on international service and suffered a slight knee ιnjury. As a result, he was unable to play for Bournemouth in the draw. Pochettino stated that the £115 million purchаse would be evaluated, but the player has not been seen practicing on the grass at their Cobham training site so far this week. Pochettino acknowledged that the player would be evaluated.
Pochettino stated that Caicedo had returned from international duty with a knock on his knee. “Caicedo arrived back from international duty with a knock in his knee,” “We need to evaluate him in the next few days, but he wasn’t available for today (against Bournemouth), so that’s why he’s not here with the team,” the manager said. “We’re playing Bournemouth today.”
On Thursday, Robert Sanchez, Ian Maatsen, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Raheem Sterling were the five players who participated in training. Mykhailo Mudryk was also present.
