Due to an injury setback, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that striker Armando Broja will miss this afternoon’s match against Arsenal.
The Chelsea manager acknowledged that the injury was not life-threatening and had nothing to do with the knee that sidelined him for much of the previous campaign.
Before the match, Chelsea’s manager said to reporters, “We finished the training session late, so I think we need to assess now.” It is necessary to evaluate Axel Disasi, Nico Jackson, and Reece. Broja is out due to a rotation issue with his knee, although this is a different knee than the one that had the issue previously.
We need to evaluate a few players to determine whether they are healthy enough to play, whether they are on the bench, or whether they are off the list entirely. Benoit might also be accessible.
Even though Mauricio Pochettino has never lost a home game against the Gunners dating back to his days at Southampton, Tottenham, and now Chelsea, Chelsea has won their last three games across all competitions but has not defeated Arsenal at home in the previous five years.
