Major Blow For Chelsea As Raheem Sterling And Pulisic Goes Off Injured During Man City Clash

Chelsea’s injury crisis has just got worse after Chelsea stars Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic were both forced off with injuries early on in their clash with Manchester City.

Sterling went down with a suspected hamstring injury not long after the game had got going at Stamford Bridge and was replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He hobbled straight down the Stamford Bridge tunnel after receiving medical attention on the pitch.

Then Pulisic also picked up a problem and had to be taken off, with youngster Carney Chukwuemeka brought on in his place. Blues boss Graham Potter was already without fellow attacker Mason Mount, who was ruled out of the match.

The England international only played five minutes of the match before picking up the injury and it looks like the problem could be his hamstring as that was the area the winger held on the pitch.

As of the time of filing this report, the severity of the England international’s injury is unclear as it stands but there is hope it is relatively minor and to add salt to injury, Pulisic also got injured afterward and got subbed off.

Both of these come after Reece James was injured recently and the Blues’ list of absentees grows ever longer with the likes of Ben Chilwell, N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana, and Edouard Mendy some of the other names to feature.

Potter has not gotten off to the best of starts at Chelsea due to mitigating circumstances and a win tonight against Man City would be a big boost for his team, but their odds do not look great.

Below are the list of injured Chelsea players at the moment:

Reece James
N’Golo Kante
Mason Mount
Raheem Sterling
Christian Pulisic
Armando Broja
Wesley Fofana
Edouard Mendy
Ben Chilwell
