The victory over Fulham came at a cost for Chelsea, as several key players were injured throughout the match.
In the late London derby that took place during round 7 of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Fulham by a score of 2-0. The first goal of the game was scored by Mykhailo Mudryk, which was also his first goal while wearing the Chelsea jersey. Mudryk was replaced at the break.
The coach, Pochettino, said the following after the game: “I hope for Mudryk it’s not a major problem. During the first half, he had the feeling that something was wrong with his thigh. He wasn’t able to continue playing because he didn’t feel comfortable. I really hope that nothing bad happens to Mudryk and that he is able to continue playing over the weekend.
In the waning seconds of their victory over Fulham, Chelsea were forced to endure yet another terrifying scare. After a collision with Willian, a former player for “The Blues,” midfielder Moises Caicedo had to be helped off the field on his lame leg.
Pochettino, Chelsea’s head coach, was asked about the condition of the man who holds the record for being the most expensive player in the club’s history and responded, “Hopefully it’s nothing bad, but it’s just a bruise.”
Armando Broja, a striker for Chelsea, scored the game-winning goal in this match. This was the striker’s first start since he ruptured a ligament in December of last year when playing against Aston Villa.
Concerns were raised regarding the health of the Albanian striker when Broja was replaced midway through the second half. When asked about his health, Broja stated to talkSPORT, “I have no injuries.”The fact that another coach will be taking my place is merely a precaution.
After seven rounds of play in the Premier League, Chelsea moved up three spots to 11th place after claiming victory over Fulham. They now have eight points to their name. The next stage of the competition will take place in Burnley, and “The Blues” will be the visitors there.
