Reports are filtering that, just as things were starting to improve on the injury front, another player has picked up an injury that could mean a spell on the side-lines.
The good folk of the tabloid publication, The Sun, are reporting that Tiemoue Bakayoko pulled up with an injury in training.
The French midfielder, who arrived from Monaco in the summer transfer window was participating in some personal fitness work when he suddenly pulled up, grimacing in pain.
The 23-year-old was forced to leave the training pitch and retire to the dressing rooms to seek treatment, leaving Chelsea sweating on the fitness of yet another player in which, in stark contrast to last season, has been a season whereby injuries are common place.
Upon arriving at Stamford Bridge, in the summer, Bakayoko was plagued by a knee injury and recently soldiered on, with others side-lined, with a minor groin injury.
Here at Vital Chelsea we`re hoping that the player makes a quick recovery and is available for selection for our forthcoming trip to the Hawthorns to take on West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
