Chelsea’s injury update vs Arsenal

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update on the fitness of some of the Blues players ahead of their weekend home game vs Arsenal.

With many of the players returning from the international break, Chelsea like other clubs had little time to work on the training pitch.

‘I think we need to assess now as we finished the training session a little bit late,’ explained Pochettino.

‘We need to assess Axel Disasi, we need to assess Nico Jackson, also Reece James we need to assess. Reece was training good the last few days and it’s now to talk about with all the medical staff and everything and then decide if he can be part of the squad tomorrow.

‘Armando Broja is out because he’s irritated his knee a little bit, but it is the other knee, not the one that was a problem in the past.

‘We have a few players we need to assess to see if tomorrow they can be available, can play or can be on the bench or maybe out of the list. Benoit Badiashile maybe can be available also for the match.’
