Chelsea's clash against Luton Town on Friday night will be without the presence of Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian winger suffered an injury during training this week and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. Mauricio Pochettino shared some good news in his pre-match press conference, however, suggesting that Mudryk could be back in training in a few days' time.
Carney Chukwuemeka, who was forced off against West Ham last Sunday shortly after scoring his side's only goal, has also undergone surgery for a knee injury. While it's unfortunate for the Blues, Pochettino believes it's not a serious issue and that Chukwuemeka could be back within weeks instead of months.
Armando Broja, who has been out of action since injuring his knee during the World Cup break last year, is also close to coming back, but Pochettino commented that the last step has been difficult. He added that many of the injuries have been caused by bad luck, and it's difficult to explain in general.
It's unclear what the outcome of Friday's game will be, as Chelsea will be missing some key players. It will be interesting to see how they manage without them and if they can finally get their first win under Pochettino.
