The SCARY Truth About Chelsea's Injury Crisis... 

Yo guys - completely agree that injuries were a big issue during 21/22 season but some context to consider - we played 63 games that season, compared to this season's 48 (will be 51 games when the season's done). Also, yes we had recurring injuries to Kanté, RLC, James and Pulisic, but each still made 38+ apps in all comps that season (Kanté played 42 times in 21/22 vs 9 times in 22/23 with the new medical staff 🤯). Chilwell was ruled out for a contact injury which is a different matter. Compare that to this season where aside from Carney and Nkunku's injuries in the summer, none have been contact injuries, and players like James, Carney, Ugochukwu, Lavia, Nkunku (ie. the long term injuries) have mad max 11 appearances. Lavia, Carney, Nkunku, James, etc were ready to play but ruled out just weeks after, so just think the situation is very different to 21/22. What do you guys think?

Chelsea's injured XI before the spurs game was probably better than our starting XI... still smashed them though 🤣

The scary thing is, weve had an injury crisis even before Clearlake came in.

I honestly think Chelsea’s training/recovery facilities are so poor in comparison to a Man City or Real Madrid. If the owners invested 200m into Medical/Physio departments instead of 16 year old potential superstars Chelsea wouldn’t be in this mess. The Cobham gym literally hasn’t been renovated since Abramovich’s takeover, it’s embarrassing.

can't remember so many long term injuries at chels. even kante and james would give us 30/40 apps before clearlake

But honestly speaking I think the Injury issue more or less has been a somehow somewhat blessing in disguise for poch in some ways to an extend. If you think about it, because of the injuries to a massive squad Poch is able to scale down his training to a small group that played almost every single match for chelsea this season. Sanchez was able to sustain first half of the season while Petrovic sustained 2nd of the season. Gusto also managed to stay fit in a way then there is Silva, Disasi whom has been fit almost whole season. Badashile and Chalobah and Cucurella once they came back stayed fit throughout. In midfield Gallahger Enzo and Caicedo stayed fit almost the entire season except for Enzo whos has missed last 2 games and next 3 games. Attacking Wise, Madueke, Palmer, Muydryk, Sterling and Jackson had stayed mostly fit for the entire season. So in some sense, Poch was able to work with these same players almost the entire season because of the injuries so they had time to adjust to his tactics, get game time together to form chemistry and communication and know each other playing style. THere is a reason why Chelsea are gradually getting up to speed recently. Think Potter last season it was because of the HUGELY bloated massive assembled squad that almost everyone stayed fit that is why Potter struggled to get his training methods across and focus on Individual players whereby Poch can zoom in on certain players to work with them. Potter had no choice but to field different starting XI almost every game because of this. So in conclusion the injury setback perhaps can be a blessing after all. Cheers

The problem is you can look back as far as 2020/21 season when our injury curse began, with the likes of Kante, RCL, Pulisic along with other being out for long periods The season after was we was flying under and again season derailed by injuries to Chilwell and James And last season was the same under potter the first few games we was doing quite well until key players got injured again While this season has been like none other this has been a deep rooted issue for a good few years now!

Chelsea one of the fittest teams now has the worst injury record two seasons in a row! Hazard was the most fouled player but was available most games. Man City spent $200 million+ on a Sleep & Wellness Center. Having a strong physio staff should be the bare minimum! _Maybe Chelsea bought Brighton's beta AI model?_

5:09 That part made me burst out with laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some very important issues raised here. Man City could not mount a title bid if they had the same level of injuries as Chelsea. In theory, we should have a squad of around 30. However, since half of this squad have been injured for significant periods, in reality we only have a 15 man squad. No team can compete on that basis🤷‍♂️😮

Issue is physios and medical staff wont matter with players like james and fofana getting injured 2 weeks after they got hired. Their work takes months and years Also their work doesnt affect buying players injured (nkunku, lavia) Where they matter is decisions to return players to action and longterm fitness. The main issue is young inexperienced players who all are thrown into the most physical demanding league at the same time you buy players with injury records (nkunku lavia, chillwell, fofana, madueke, gusto, cqicedo)

Thank you Pablo for this info now we understand why

Sick video bro! keep it up 🙌

Wot a shocker! Knew there was something wrong but this seems to explain it. Needs organizing in the close season or no way it gets any better next season.

Good job , bud 💪🏽

Chelsea must bring Eva carniero's medical team back.

I liked the clip of Mudryk shooting the ball out of the stadium😂

Hi, what program do you use to edit your videos?

Hen we are after Olise, another player with frequent injury problems...?

When the argue for using yougsters come up, I know this analysis has been a little bit of a stretch. This is completely against your previous argument, where Chelsea's young start are not covered enough. Most teams only introduce academy players when their starting XI is strong and STABLE enough so that they could hand-hold the new players through the process. Imagining you rush into play a youngster, who's then being destroyed by the opponent, their confidence would be long gone for like forever.

Just Eghbali playing some FM. Look how he fires Poch at the end and appoints Mourinho to send us into the unknown. I wonder if he is an Arsenal fan

Absurdo essa quantidade de lesões numa só temporada!

Wages at around 1 to 1.5 million PER WEEK since sept for players who can play.

They are all recovered just in time for the Euros. Miracles, or they were avoiding the Chelsea pressure.

@5:43 You had doctor or physio walking with chuck and he’s walking with the crutches incorrectly and probably the wrong height too. Further proof they have no idea

You should have way more subs buddy

The owners should fix this cause its not helping their version

I don't take your point that Caicedo, Enzo or Gallagher have been overused. Chelsea have played far more games in a season in years prior when we have been in Europe and we had teams then that hardly changed at all..If you want to challenge for trophies you have to play more games than everyone else and you know what unlike Liverpool and City we never complained about that before.

All this analysis is just down to luck and injury prone players the others that were fit all season also had the same medical staff too

Incompetent ownersgutted our club

Chelsea has the weakest and poorest medical team in England football

gud video

Mudryk is not even a PL level player . Forget about chelsea .

Relax guys.. i’ve got this.. we will be back next season

The owners should fix this cause its not helping their version
