Never Good! Liam Rosenior confirms lengthy Trevoh Chalobah absence

Chelsea have been dealth with another huge blow in their defense line as manager Liam Rosenior confirms the length of Trevoh Chalobah injury.

Chalobah was forced off during the Blues’ embarrassing Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, adding to a growing list of absent stars.

Fears of a long-term fracture intensified when Chalobah shared an image of his heavily bandaged leg on social media shortly after the final whistle.

However, subsequent scans have offered a slightly more optimistic prognosis than the initial “season-ending” fears. However, medical staff of the club expect a recovery period of approximately six weeks.

Addressing the media ahead of Chelsea trip to Everton, Rosenior admitted his initial anxiety following the PSG clash.

“It wasn’t until after the game that I saw the image. Then you’re really worried for the next day,” the boss Chelsea explained as quoted by BBC. “Obviously, it’s never good that Trevoh is out for any period of time, but fortunately, it’s not as serious as we first feared.”

Rosenior also touched upon the status of captain Reece James. He said: “With a hamstring injury, it is never great and for Reece we can hopefully get him scanned, find out the full extent and then we will know more because we know how important he is and what a leader he is in the group. He felt something in his hamstring at the end of the game against Newcastle. It’s really frustrating and a disappointing one for us. We don’t know the full extent for us but it rules him out.”

Chelsea have lost their last three matches across all competitions. The embarrassing 8-2 aggregate defeat to PSG in Europe has put more pressure on Rosenoir and his boys.

The London club now need a positive result against Everton so as not to jeopardise their chance of Champions League qualification next season.
