The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 21st August 2023!
Morning all,
We had a Chelsea matchday on Sunday as The Blues took the short trip to face West Ham in the Premier League. It was a bad day at the office for Mauricio Pochettino and the lads and it also ended with another frustrating injury to one of the few good performers on the day, Carney Chukwuemeka.
You can get my full thoughts on the game in my debrief article here.
There was still a lot of other things going on yesterday even though it was a Chelsea match day and also, the Women’s World Cup final where Spain were triumphant! So the best place to head to next is Sunday’s news report here. This covers all the latest transfer news and any sourced news I’ve been given as well. You can also find quotes and reactions from Pochettino and others after the defeat to West Ham in this.
As well as this, I have a sourced article on Chelsea’s pursuit of a new attacking midfielder or two here. In this, there is news on five new names being looked at by Chelsea, as well as what I know on Brennan Johnson and Bradley Barcola.
We had the bad news of another Reece James injury this week, with the club captain expected to be out for around a month. As we know, this isn’t the first time James has been absent and his regular injuries are a concern. But what can be done about it and why does he keep getting injured? We address all of that and more here.
Finally, Luke Rushbrook had a really good article out on Friday that I wanted to send out for those who might have missed it. It’s called ‘The LFC Midfield’ after the initials of our new midfielders Lavia, Fernandez, and Caicedo! And as we know, this is ironic in more ways than one! Check that out here.
That’s it for now but don’t forget to join me on the live blog from around 8am today!
Peace, Si.
