Chelsea Faces Setback with Gittens’ Injury, Jorgensen’s Return Date Announced

Chelsea FC has recently encountered a significant setback as forward Gittens suffered a hamstring injury. This occurred during the team’s match against West Ham, where Gittens was substituted in the early stages. His removal due to injury came just 25 minutes into the game, preventing him from showcasing his skills. Chelsea’s head coach, Liam Rosenior, expressed disappointment at Gittens’ early exit, noting the team would have to manage without him for the time being.

Gittens’ Injury Details

The injury has been confirmed as a hamstring issue, but the timeline for Gittens’ recovery remains uncertain. Rosenior stated:

• “I don’t know the extent of the injury.”
• “It’s a real shame for him because I wanted to give him a start.”
• “Hopefully it’s not too bad.”

Gittens will be missed in the forthcoming matches, including the crucial fixture against Arsenal. In his absence, Chelsea will rely on other attacking players, such as Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, and Alejandro Garnacho.

Positive News for Chelsea: Jorgensen’s Return

On a brighter note for Chelsea, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is nearing his return to the squad. He had previously been sidelined after coming off at half-time during a Champions League game against Pafos. Rosenior reported that Jorgensen could potentially return in time for the match against Arsenal or be ready for their Premier League encounter against Wolves later this week.
