After the victorious weekend in UAE where the London club won the FIFA club world cup, Chelsea would be engaging in a Premier League match this weekend with Crystal Palace.
Naiajcrawl considers it expedient to give an update on some f the injured players in Tuchel's squad.
Chilwell
The left-back is set to miss the remainder of the season after a serious injury.
The left-back suffered a cruciate ligament injury, which required reconstructive surgery, against Juventus and is unlikely to return until next season.
Expected return date: 2022/23 season
James
The talented young defender is pushing towards a return to first-team action, with the right-back stepping up his recovery in recent weeks.
The England international did travel to Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup but wasn’t involved as he still makes his way back.
Mount
The 23-year-old managed to return for the final, only to be replaced before half-time with an ankle issue.
On the injury, Tuchel said: “He was injured. It was in one of the first actions, he had a run at the back post with Azpilicueta. They fell and his opponent fell on his ankle and he hurt his ligaments badly. So we have to see. It’s an injury.
Mount is expected to possibly return to the squad during the Carabao cup final on February 27 against Liverpool.
