Chelsea currently holds the unenviable title of being the most injury-prone club in the Premier League, a fact that’s likely no surprise to you if you’ve found your way here.

Throughout this season and the last, it’s felt like the club has consistently had a substantial number of players sidelined due to injuries, often reaching double digits.

A recent study estimated that these injuries are costing the club a staggering £336,128 every day in wages for sidelined players. This is largely due to the unfortunate circumstance that some of their injured players are among the highest-paid footballers in the sport.

On a brighter note, Armando Broja may finally make his comeback from a long-term knee injury, as he has returned to training during this international break. Meanwhile, Reece James is progressing toward a potential return to the squad, although this might take another week or two.

In other injury updates, Trevoh Chalobah continues to be sidelined with a hamstring/thigh issue, and there’s limited information available regarding his expected return timeline. Benoit Badiashile has successfully recovered from a lengthy hamstring injury but is likely to be gradually reintegrated into the team.

Christopher Nkunku (expected back in November), Carney Chukwuemeka (possibly returning next month), and Wesley Fofana (likely out for the entire season) are all at different stages of recovery from significant knee injuries.

There’s some more positive news concerning Mykhailo Mudryk, who sustained an injury while on international duty with Ukraine. Fortunately, he has recovered and is ready for selection at the club level.

However, Romeo Lavia suffered an ankle injury during a training session late last week, and the anticipated timeline for his return is approximately six weeks, as the scan revealed ligament damage.
