As the season draws to a close, Chelsea’s injury woes seem to be easing, offering a glimmer of hope for the club’s supporters. Mauricio Pochettino has faced significant challenges with numerous first-team players out injured throughout the campaign. However, recent developments have bolstered his options, leading to an impressive four-game winning streak for the Blues.
It has been confirmed that Mykhailo Mudryk will not participate in Chelsea’s final match of the season against Bournemouth. The winger sustained a suspected concussion following a collision with Tariq Lamptey in the match against Brighton. Due to head injury protocols, Mudryk, despite not having a severe issue, is ruled out for the weekend.
