Chelsea have announced that Enzo Fernandez will miss the remainder of the 2023/24 season following a surgery procedure to resolve a groin problem. The Argentine international has been playing through the pain but has now opted to go under the knife to be fit in time for the Copa America. Despite his Chelsea struggles, he remains a crucial player for manager Lionel Scaloni as they look to secure back-to-back continental titles.  Fernandez missed the 6-0 Everton thumping ten days ago but returned for the 5-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The former Benfica delive ..read more

Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer returned to training on Thursday, according to the Daily Mail, offering a major boost to the Blues ahead of their trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.  Reece James and Levi Colwill also joined him in partial training although they have been out for longer and definitely cannot be fit for the Villa game. The 21-year-old’s absence due to illness was keenly felt in the humiliating 5-0 defeat to Arsenal midweek. Palmer is Chelsea’s top scorer this season with 20 Premier League goals. Also, his ability to progress the ball and create chan ..read more

Chelsea face a crucial decision on the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino. The club must decide whether to stick with the Argentine or embark on another summer of upheaval. Despite the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City and a recent thrashing at the hands of Arsenal, a definitive call on Pochettino hasn’t been made, per Telegraph Sport.  The Blues limped out of the FA Cup after a typical showing. They created the better chances, but striker Nicolas Jackson squandered the opportunities, allowing City to score one and claim the victory. The Premier League has not offered m ..read more

Chelsea suffered a record 5-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates as the Blues failed to close in on European football with six games left in the Premier League season.

The Gunners carved Chelsea open time and time again in the first half, recording 13 shots.  While the Blues crept back into control slowly, they co ..read more

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has put his arm around striker Nicolas Jackson following his poor showing against Manchester City in the FA Cup this weekend. Chelsea’s FA Cup exit to City left them trophyless for the season, but Pochettino remains firmly behind Jackson despite a frustrating performance. The Senegalese centre-forward did not have his shooting boots and spurned three clear-cut chances to give the Blues the lead before City eventually punished them and knocked them out. The loss means Pochettino’s search for a first trophy in England continues. Despite finding hi ..read more

Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer scored four goals to secure a 6-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old made it back-to-back hat-tricks on home soil and became the first player to score two Premier League trebles for the club in the same season. Palmer was the star of the show. He combined with Nicolas Jackson early on after putting a deft nutmeg on Jarrad Braithwaite and angled a beautiful shot beyond Jordan Pickford in the Everton goal for the opener. Moments later, Chelsea fashioned another chance, and Jackson forced the save from Pickford before Palmer headed in the rebound fo ..read more

Chelsea winger Angelo Gabriel has been ruled out for the rest of the season by Strasbourg coach Patrick Vieira (via L’Equipe).  The youngster had suffered a hernia problem at the start of March with Strasbourg, and the club announced that he would be out for a month. However, it has since become clear that he needs more recovery time. The absence of the Brazilian winger leaves a gaping hole in Strasbourg’s ranks. Even though the end product is lacking, he has been superb for Les Alsaciens this season. It has been a decent first season in Europe for Angelo despite failing to score an ..read more
