This season, Malo Gusto has been a standout player for Chelsea. However, during their recent match against Burnley, he suffered a suspected hamstring injury and was forced to limp off the pitch. It was a disappointing day for the Blues as they were held to a 2-2 draw despite playing against 10-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
Things started off well for Chelsea as they were awarded a penalty just before half-time, which Cole Palmer converted to give them the lead. Burnley's Lorenz Assignon was sent off for a foul on Mykhailo Mudryk in the box, which gave Chelsea the advantage. However, their joy was short-lived as Josh Cullen shockingly equalised just minutes into the second half. It seemed like Palmer's late goal would secure the win for Chelsea, but Dara O'Shea's strike in the 81st minute leveled the score once again.
This draw was a major disappointment for Chelsea, especially considering that Burnley is facing relegation and has only won four times this season. The result leaves Chelsea in 11th place in the table. To add to their woes, Malo Gusto, who has been one of their top players this season, was forced to leave the game due to his injury in the 87th minute. He was replaced by Alfie Gilchrist.
Gusto has been a key player for Chelsea this season, stepping up in the absence of captain Reece James who has been sidelined for most of the campaign due to injury. In the match against Burnley, it was Palmer who scored both goals for Chelsea, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure the win.
Chelsea has been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with 10 other players currently in the treatment room. This latest result and performance will only add to the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has faced criticism from the club's fans.
In a post-match interview, Pochettino expressed his disappointment with his team's lack of energy and hunger on the field. He stated, "We are a team that when we go forward, we create too many chances but don't convert enough of them. We didn't show the necessary energy and hunger to compete in the Premier League. That is why I am so upset and disappointed. It's more here [points to heart] and here [points to head] than in your legs."
