As fans eagerly anticipate the Wolves vs Chelsea Premier League kick-off, here is the latest player injury update you should know.
Chelsea are gearing up for a crucial Premier League clash on Monday evening as they host Wolves at Stamford Bridge and the latest player injury update seems to be raising a lot of concern for Enzo Maresca.
Desperate to end their five-game winless streak in the Premier League, the Blues are eager to secure a much-needed victory that could rejuvenate their season.
However, Wolves have been a tricky opponent for Chelsea, winning three of their last four league encounters. Despite that, Chelsea dominated in their earlier meeting this season, clinching a commanding 6-2 win, with Noni Madueke netting a hat-trick, and Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, and João Félix also contributing goals.
In terms of team selection, Enzo has confirmed in his pre-match press conference that his side will face potential setbacks as Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Levi Colwill, and Romeo Lavia are all doubtful due to injuries. Wolves, on the other hand, may be without Matheus Cunha, who is dealing with an illness.
Meanwhile, with the January transfer window open until February 3, speculation about Chelsea’s moves has been rife. Under manager Enzo Maresca’s leadership, the team’s attacking talents have made a strong impact.
Noni Madueke has featured in 12 of the club’s 15 league matches, scoring five goals, while Cole Palmer has been in scintillating form, racking up 11 goals and six assists in just 15 domestic appearances. Nicolas Jackson has also impressed with eight goals in 14 games. Maresca has lauded players like Palmer and João Félix for their extraordinary vision and creativity on the pitch, highlighting their game-changing abilities.
Chelsea’s injury list also includes key defenders Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, which could prompt reinforcements during the transfer window. With the FA Cup on the horizon, Maresca has confirmed that Reece James and Romeo Lavia will be available for the upcoming fixture against Morecambe.
As Chelsea aim to turn their season around and make a push for a top-four finish, fans can expect an eventful few weeks filled with transfer news, speculation, and competitive action on multiple fronts.
