Chelsea Newsletter - Friday 3rd December
Covering: Robert Lewandowski to Chelsea? Azpilicueta rejects contract offer? Injury-hit Chelsea - who can come in from the academy? Better not Call Saul, And our general news sweep..
FRIDAY! Boom! It’s another weekend, and Chelsea play again tomorrow just 3 days after scraping past Watford this week.
Another away match at West Ham, but again a nice short journey for the boys. Thomas Tuchel will deliver the updated injury news later today, but we have a lot of injuries and fatigue issues to contend with and it’s not looking ideal at all.
Chelsea might have to look to the academy to bulk out the squad this month, especially with 9 more matches to play and taking into account the injuries and fatigue.
So I’ve compiled a list of academy players that I believe could be called upon should we need them here. It certainly pays off having one of the best academy setups in the world.
Saul Niguez I honestly cannot see getting a start again anytime soon, even if we are still without N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Jorginho. I feel for the guy a lot, but right now he is playing the worst football of his career and it is terrible timing.
I’ve compiled a piece on Saul here and where we/he can go from here.
To finish off with now, a couple of transfer rumours to rate. Robert Lewandowski to Chelsea anyone? We’ve been here before, but check out my report on that here.
Next up, another rumour based on Cesar Azpilicueta and his Chelsea future. I address that here.
And oh yeah, the general news sweep is here as well, mustn’t forget to check that one out to catch up on all the rest of your Chelsea news.
Oh and before I forget, are any of our paid subscribers up for coming on the Podcast with myself and Dan next week as a little thank you for being here with us? Let me know in the comments and we’ll arrange our first Podcast Episode - The Substack Community Special.
Our latest Podcast drop is today at 3pm, and it features top Football coach and analyst, Harry Brooks. We look forward to you guys hearing this one, we think it is a bit unique and you’ll enjoy it!
Right… Annnnd breathe! Have an awesome weekend people!
