Whatever way you want to look it at, whether it’s an issue in the medical team or just pure bad luck, Chelsea’s injury crisis has been prominent and consistent over recent seasons, with a number of key players constantly being injured.
A lot of Chelsea fans call it an injury curse, and refer to themselves as Injury FC, and you can completely see why.
Sources: Chelsea already working on signing a big name new striker this summer!
Even players who are not quite yet Chelsea players are seemingly being struck down with injuries. Malo Gusto was signed from Lyon in the summer and loaned back to them, and he is currently now at Cobham being treated for a fresh injury!
And now, pending new signing Christopher Nkunku, who is expected to join Chelsea in the summer albeit no official confirmation yet, has suffered yet another injury setback after only recently returning from a long-term injury.
🚨 Christopher Nkunku was not fully able to complete the final training session before the Manchester City game tomorrow.
It's a potential muscle issue that will be assessed over the next 24 hours.#CFC

Chelsea cannot catch an injury break. Whether you’re superstitious or not, the club continue to have terrible luck with injuries.
“Stop functional training” start doing full depth squats, deadlifts, overhead presses off season.
