I know everyone’s still smarting over this morning’s news that Timo Werner and Ben Davies have joined Destiny Udogie on the list of players out for the rest of the season. That sucks, and makes Tottenham Hotspur’s job at Stamford Bridge tomorrow that much harder.
But things could always be worse, and you know who are in a worse situation with their injury list? Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino held his press conference today and confirmed that the Blues have FOURTEEN players out of action for tomorrow’s match, with the inclusion of Thiago Silva and Axel Disasi to that list.
Here’s a full list of Chelsea players who are either confirmed out or doubtful for tomorrow’s match:
- Axel Disasi
- Thiago Silva (under assessment)
- Wesley Fofana
- Romeo Lavia
- Enzo Fernandez
- Christopher Nkunku
- Levi Colwill
- Reece James
- Lesley Ugochukwu
- Malo Gusto
- Raheem Sterling (under assessment)
- Ben Chilwell (under assessment)
- Carney Chukwuemeka
- Robert Sanchez
Now, that doesn’t mean that Spurs are a shoo-in for the match tomorrow. We know what these derbies are like. But it means that Chelsea fans are likely feeling just as badly and nervous about this one as we are.
