Injury Expert shares early Chelsea team news v Everton
Chelsea are set to be without seven first-team players for their Premier League clash against Everton, according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.
The injury expert shared the data on his website (4 December) and has listed the players who will not be available and are “ruled out”, for Sunday’s afternoon (10 December) clash at Goodison Park.
Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, Conor Gallagher, Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Carney Chukwuemeka are a whole list of key figures missing for Mauricio Pochettino ahead of Sunday’s game.
Midfielder Romeo Lavia is scheduled to return on Sunday, with Ben Dinnery putting his chance of featuring at 25 per cent while Noni Madueke has a 75 per cent chance of returning but faces a late fitness test.
Third consecutive win?
Confidence undoubtedly breeds success and the form of the team right now is the best it’s been in several years, with Sean Dyche really getting a tune out of the squad, such is his miracle-working reputation.
Before Thursday night’s clash, the Toffees were yet to record a victory on home turf since their 3-0 win over Bournemouth on 7 October.
To beat Newcastle the way they did, given their concerning home record was very impressive but also showed how Dyche has become an expert at grinding out unlikely results as Everton manager.
Sunday is another battle, though, as Dyche’s side face off against a Chelsea team ravaged by injuries right now but still possesses players capable of hurting Everton. But, so did Newcastle, under their own difficult injury situation.
If the Toffees can match the levels they showed against the Magpies, a third consecutive home win is certainly on the horizon on Sunday. It certainly seems as if the points deduction really isn’t fazing this Everton side at all.
