This Thursday, Chelsea's coach, Liam Rosenior, expressed concern about the increasing physical problems within the squad for the remainder of the season. The losses of left-winger Jamie Gittens and forward Liam Delap, along with the forced substitution of Marc Guiu in the last match against Arsenal in the English League Cup, have raised alarms at the club.

Outbreak concerns the squad

“(Delap) is still at home at the moment, recovering, just like Jamie Gittens. The club's doctors are doing everything they can to contain what seems to be a virus, because some of our staff members have also been affected by it,” he stated in a press conference.

“Today I had a meeting with the players about washing hands, the basics, which is very important, and I hope we can contain (the outbreak). We are in a very busy period, so we need everyone to be prepared, fit, and healthy,” he added.

Reinforcements available

However, Reece James and Cole Palmer have returned to training after a period of injury and are available to be used by the new coach for the first time.

“Both trained today, so we just need to evaluate them after training and ensure they meet all the necessary protocols.”
