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.
But at least Chelsea bought a lot of new players a few days ago, which means there are still a number of substitute players who might still have a chance to get into the top five at the top of the standings. Even though at the start of yesterday's match Chelsea lost against West Ham, which should be easy to beat, In the next match against Luton Town, I really hope Chelsea win and make the fans happy again to see Chelsea's efforts in the league this season.
You are right, the arrival of new players certainly brings new hope to the club. But they may need time to adapt to the team's style of play and strategy. Therefore, there is still a big chance for the substitute to show his quality and help Chelsea move up the standings. The defeat to West Ham might be a whip for Chelsea to improve their performance in the next game against Luton Town. As you said, victory in the match will bring joy to the fans and bring joy to the players. This season's league is still long, and there are still many opportunities for Chelsea to show their abilities and compete at the top of the standings.
