Chelsea's current injury woes turned from a problem to a full blown crisis on Thursday night as three new absences were handed to Graham Potter. Seven first-team stars were already out of action for the clash with Manchester City before Mason Mount took a knock in training, keeping him out of the game.
Just a few minutes into the clash, further problems arose as Raheem Sterling went to ground clutching at his hamstring and failing to come back on against his former side. To add insult to injury, just moments later in the first-half, Christian Pulisic went down twice after struggling with the effects of a John Stones injury, also making way.
It leaves the Blues with as many as 10 players unavailable to Potter, hardly making his rocky start in charge of the club's transition any easier. “It doesn’t make it any easier," the manager said on his injury issues.
