Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update on the injury status of Ben Chilwell ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley. Reports suggest the England international left-back will be out for at least eight weeks with a hamstring injury.
When asked to comment on the length of Chilwell's potential absence, Pochettino was hesitant to put a timeline on the injury. "It's difficult," he said. "I'm not a doctor. It's about judging day-by-day. We cannot say the period he will be out."
However, there was a more positive update on right-back Reece James. He was back in training with the group, and although he is suspended for the Burnley game, he is expected to be available for selection after the international break.
Pochettino also gave updates on Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Romeo Lavia, saying that Caicedo and Mudryk were both in the squad and it would be decided later whether they had a chance to start. He also added that Chukwuemeka was close to joining the squad last week and that he had trained well, but he wanted to check with the medical staff. On Lavia, he said the player was still not running and wouldn't be ready after the international break.
