Chelsea fans sweat over defender’s injury

Chelsea went into last night’s game against Frankfurt with some serious injury issues, and ended the match in even more trouble.

Defender Andreas Christensen limped off in the second half to be replaced by Davide Zappacosta, with Cesar Azpilicueta shifting to centre back.

Christensen joins Antonio Rudiger on the injury list, meaning that the Blues currently have only one fit first choice defender in the form of David Luiz.

The good news is that the Danish defender’s problem doesn’t sound to severe, and with almost a month to go until the Europa League final he should be fit again.

But for this weekend’s away game with Leicester we might seriously be struggling. Could this be a chance for a youth team player to step up and make the difference? With top 4 secure, this could be the perfect opportunity for someone to make an impression ahead of next season.
