Chelsea are already having problems with many of their players injured in just the first few games of this season and some from before. Christopher Nkunku, Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, and Carney Chukwuemeka were all injured for Chelsea. More can follow if care is not taken because there have been lots of injuries recorded already in this premier league season.

That's a lot of injuries to key Chelsea players and this is likely going to affect the team's performance in their next game having got this number of players injured who are yet to recover. Starting up the season with so many injuries has the possibility of denying them the top 4 spots, looking at how competitive it was last season. It is needful for the coach to step up his game to get Chelsea into the promised Land.

I'm not sure about Chelsea's development this season, I don't know what made Chelsea like this, even Chelsea is very difficult to get out of its slump, I'm not even sure if their core players recover from injury, whether the best players can bring Chelsea to its best setting , even for almost two seasons, Chelsea have not been very consistent in some of their matches, even in the first match they played without having confidence in facing West Ham some time ago, Chelsea must improve as quickly as possible and rise from their slump if Chelsea continues like this, it is most likely they will be left behind by the big clubs and their rivals..

The injury to Christopher Nkunku had quite an effect on Chelsea's front line but again that this is a team game that affects all lines.
Chelsea's performance in the first 2 matches of the Premier League was indeed very disappointing, especially the performance of the players who were bought at quite expensive prices but they never contributed to the team.
At the moment it is certain that Mauricio Pochettino is facing a huge burden to be able to revive the performance of the Chelsea team, but it is still early in the season and it is possible for everything to happen in the coming weeks.

Christopher Nkunku is one player, I believe Pochettino should know better than that, there should be a viable plan B in everything he does as any unexpected could happen at any time. The guy is a promising one but that should still not cause too many lapses in their attack. And from what I see, the issue of Chelsea is more than that, they are still not out of the woods, and the defence is also weak. What I could say as an improvement is that the psychological issue of connectivity among players is no more there, what I see now is a tactical issue, they need to nip it in the bud and get it done.

This is the responsibility of the coach and the players, and most of those guys playing there have good records but better alternatives are out there that are even cheaper. Maybe we should give them more time, after all, some teams do not get it together quickly.
