Omari Kellyman, the young and promising football player, has yet to make his debut for Chelsea's senior team. This news may come as a disappointment to some fans, but it seems that Kellyman will have to wait a bit longer before stepping onto the field for the Blues.
As one of Chelsea's newest acquisitions during the summer transfer window, Kellyman joined the team from Aston Villa for a hefty £19 million fee. He was the third signing made by Enzo Maresca, the club's manager. Despite not having played for the first-team yet, the 18-year-old has already made three appearances for Chelsea's U21 squad, showing great potential for the future.
Unfortunately, it seems that Kellyman's debut will have to wait even longer, as he recently revealed some bad news on social media. In a post on Sunday, he announced that he has suffered a hamstring injury. While this is a common occurrence in football, it's still a blow for the young player. However, he remains optimistic and promises to come back stronger from this setback.
According to reports, Kellyman's recovery will take around two months, which means he will miss out on some important matches in the Premier League and Carabao Cup. This includes games against Bournemouth, West Ham, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, and Newcastle. It's also unfortunate timing as Chelsea begins their Conference League campaign, with matches against Gent and Panathinaikos.
Kellyman's injury may not be a major concern for Maresca, as he has a number of other attacking options at his disposal. Players like Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Joao Felix are all capable of filling in for Kellyman during his absence. However, the manager has also had to deal with injuries to key players like Reece James and Romeo Lavia, who have also suffered hamstring issues.
This was evident in their recent match against Crystal Palace, where Malo Gusto also had to be substituted due to a muscle problem. Maresca addressed these concerns in his post-match press conference, stating that they will have to wait and see how long Gusto will be out for.
Despite these setbacks, Chelsea remains determined to climb up the league table. With just one win in their first three matches, they currently sit in 11th place.
