Mauricio Pochettino was hit by yet another Chelsea injury blow during his side's 2-2 Premier League draw against Burnley on Saturday. Carney Chukwuemeka, Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah and Ben Chilwell were all added to Chelsea's injury report ahead of the clash with all four only recent returning.
Following the update, the quartet were expectedly absent from the matchday squad to face Burnley with no clear indication of a return date. Earlier in the week, it was also confirmed that Romeo Lavia would not feature for the remainder of the season meaning he will have played just 32 minutes in a disastrous first season at Stamford Bridge.
