Nothing is going well with the Blues, who will have to climb the slope without their very experienced defender, Thiago Silva.
10th in the Premier League, eliminated from the Champions League and the two national cups, Chelsea is having a nightmarish season. Graham Potter’s men, increasingly challenged as coach, have not won in the league since January 15 – 5 games – and will need a real miracle to be European at the end of the season – Newcastle , who occupies the 5th and last qualifying place for Europe, is at 10 points.
One more bad news is added to this blackboard: Thiago Silva, injured in the defeat at Tottenham (2-0) after an intervention on Kane, injured his knee ligaments. No doubt, the Blues will have to do without their 38-year-old Brazilian defender for several weeks, he who was indisputable starter this season.
Further tests “confirmed that Thiago’s knee ligaments are damaged and he will now work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation in order to return to action as soon as possible,” a club statement said.
