Lavia, Chukwuemeka, Chilwell - Latest Chelsea injury news and return dates for Burnley

Chelsea's injury problems continued to mount up this week with Mauricio Pochettino suffering a triple blow ahead of Saturday afternoon's Premier League clash with Burnley.

The Blues boss has constantly suffered with problems in the medical room at Cobham since taking over in the summer. Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Reece James and Christopher Nkunku have all been out for large periods of the campaign to leave Pochettino short at times.

News on Thursday emerged that Trevoh Chalobah, Carney Chukwuemeka and Robert Sanchez are all ruled out for the upcoming games. The club confirmed the trio's absence ahead of Pochettino's pre-match press conference.

With that being said, football.london takes a look at the latest injury news from Stamford Bridge.

Injury: Unknown.

Chukwuemeka withdrew from the England under-21 squad last week. Chelsea said he had «returned early to work on his fitness at Cobham, as he looks to play a key role in the remainder of the season.»

He was added to the club injury list on Thursday.

Possible return date: Unknown.

What Pochettino has said: «No, it's a different problem. It's difficult to explain the situation because I am not a doctor and be precise with the information,» Pochettino said. «The most important thing is to make clear that in nine months, only a few weeks he was with us, training with us.
