Andreas Christensen the latest Chelsea player to go off hurt | OneFootball

Chelsea have taken off Andreas Christensen at half time, with Trevoh Chalobah replacing him.

The Dane had gone down hurt in the first half but played on till half time. He’s had a back issue recently, and we assume it’s a recurrence of that. With Thiago Silva already out, we’re desperately thin at the back if any of these issues are serious.

We face Liverpool on Sunday, and things really don’t get easier after that. This team feels like it’s on its last lags physically.

That means not only have Chelsea possibly lost two players to injury, they’ve also lost two of their subs for this game by half time. Reece James lasted just 27 minutes.

Given how they played in the first half, and given how many players need a rest, that could be fatal. We’re under serious pressure, and changes would probably already have been made by now, in normal circumstances.
