Former Chelsea and Arsenal star William Gallas believes World Cup being played mid-season is a "terrible idea" as shown by the recent injuries to Ben Chilwell and Son Heung-min - and has identified a problem that clubs will have to be wary of ahead of the final fixtures before the break.
Chilwell suffered a hamstring injury during the win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night and is now a serious doubt to make the England squad that will head to Qatar. Son had to be substituted during Tottenham's 2-1 win over Marseille following a clash of heads with Chancel Mbemba, with the South Korea star suffering a fractured eye socket
Christian Pulisic has revealed his disappointment for Chilwell with the Blues now awaiting the results from a scan to understand the full extent of his injury. Chelsea now have just five fit defenders ahead of the clash against the Gunners this weekend as they look to get one over their London rivals who lead the way at the top of the Premier League table.
