There’s no denying that all of these guys had a great month, but one would have thought there would at least be a nod for Tammy Abraham, who scored a hattrick against Wolves at the start of the month.
In the end the Blues played 3 games and won 2 of them in the year’s 9th month, their only defeat against Liverpool in a game we deserved a point from.
Fikayo Tomori was also excellent through those 3 games, but clearly central defenders are considered important by the PL, who didn’t go near them for their shortlist.
Was Son Heung-Min really that good in September? Luckily there are plenty of months left in the season for Chelsea players to get the recognition they deserve.
