Mauricio Pochettino admitted he was surprised Ben Chilwell started two games for England during the international break, having only recently returned from a knee injury. (More Football News)
The defender last started for Chelsea on March 2 against Brentford and since then has played just a few minutes for the club, as a late substitute in the FA Cup against Leicester.
Yet he played the entirety of England바카라s 2-2 draw with Belgium on Tuesday, three days after completing 67 minutes against Brazil.
The Argentinian is no closer to seeing the end of his team바카라s injury crisis with nine players currently ruled out of Saturday바카라s meeting with Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
More squad members will be assessed after returning from international duty, including Chilwell, who took a knock to his knee against Belgium.
바카라He didn바카라t play after Brentford, then he played only a few minutes against Leicester,바카라 said Pochettino. 바카라(Then) he started two games (for England).
바카라It바카라s a surprise for us. It바카라s bad luck because he got a dead leg in the last moment against Belgium. Now we need to assess if he can be available.바카라
Enzo Fernandez was set to return to the club바카라s Cobham training base on Thursday afternoon after playing twice for Argentina in the United States during the break, and is another player whose fitness will be checked on.
Three names unlikely to feature on Saturday however are Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka, the latter after returning injured from duty with England Under-21s.
The club confirmed this week that Romeo Lavia would be out for the rest of the season.
The summer signing from Southampton has played just 32 minutes for the first team since arriving in west London for £58million and has suffered a series of setbacks.
바카라It바카라s a difficult situation for him,바카라 said Pochettino. 바카라He바카라s sad. He only played 30 minutes, for a new player at the club.
바카라When we signed him, he arrived with problems. He couldn바카라t train with us for the first months. Then when he was ready he suffered a problem in his feet.
바카라He recovered, he played 30 minutes then got injured in December. Then he didn바카라t have the possibility to train. It바카라s really sad news.바카라
However, top scorer Cole Palmer is likely to be available to face Burnley, having not featured in either of England바카라s games during the last week.
The 21-year-old was injured for the Brazil game and was an unused substitute against Belgium.
바카라I talked with him,바카라 said Pochettino. 바카라He바카라s a little bit disappointed because he couldn바카라t play with the national team.
바카라The first game he had a small problem. He thought maybe he바카라d play the second game.
바카라Now he바카라s OK, is training well. The plan is he will be available for Saturday.바카라
