Things all went pretty swimmingly for Chelsea in midweek when they beat Aston Villa – but the Blues aren’t allowed nice things, of course.
In the second half, there had to be a fly in the ointment – in this case it was Benoit Badiashile going down injured. Like many of our squad, he’s been plagued by injuries since joining the club, unable to remain fit for any length of time, which is in turn stopping him picking up any run of form.
The Frenchman looked to be holding his groin as he limped off. Not ideal. The injury report released by the club earlier today didn’t have too much detail, but simply said he as “undergoing medical assessment,” meaning he likely hasn’t even had a scan yet.
We hope to get more details from Mauricio Pochettino in his presser coming up later. What looks almost certain is that the centre back will miss the game against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
