Chelsea face mounting injury concerns ahead of their crucial clash with Southampton, with key players like Trevoh Chalobah, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson still sidelined.
Chelsea's squad depth continues to be tested as several key players remain out with injuries. Trevoh Chalobah was forced off early in the defeat against Aston Villa but is expected to avoid a long-term absence. However, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson will be out until after the March international break due to hamstring injuries.
Romeo Lavia, Marc Guiu, and Benoit Badiashile remain in the recovery process with uncertain return dates. On the positive side, Wesley Fofana has returned to training and could be available in two to three weeks. With the UEFA Conference League knockout stage approaching and Chelsea struggling for form in the Premier League, Enzo Maresca will be eager to welcome back reinforcements as soon as possible.
Chelsea will need to navigate their upcoming fixtures carefully as injuries continue to impact squad selection.
