Who is responsible for injuries? Past injury record or Medical team??
It is no secret that Chelsea is the top lister team in the premier league with the worst injury record, compared to that of other teams. Having said that the big question every Chelsea fan must be asking themselves is Why only us??
Is it the players that we sign are just injury prone players? or is the medical team just not doing their duty? Well if we notice that the player who has missed the most number of days injured is new signing Romeo Lavia, last season at Southampton Lavia missed a total of 10 games with 55 days out injured compared to the current season at Chelsea 242 days and 43 games missed.
Well Lavias injury record was not worse as compared to Nkuku who missed a total of 22 games last season for RB Leipzig and missed a total of 39 games for Chelsea this season.
It is shocking to notice that both Lavia and Nkuku after their injuries were not given proper rehabilitation procedures, since upon making their comeback they were soon injured just like club captain Reece James and vice captain Ben Chilwell.
The medical team is just not aware of their duties as players are not being treated as how they are supposed too. Most of the injuries this season are due to lack of proper post match body recovery such as ( Muscle fatigue, lack of fitness, pre-existing injuries).
Upon taking over Chelsea Clearlake Capital made a huge restructure of the club, which is firing all existing employees and signing new replacements. Well it seems that the plan failed very miserably, it is also noted that Chelsea do not even have their proper own medical team and have a freelancing medical team with no prior football or even any sports experience!!
If this is the way how the owners want to run the club then I feel they are just on the wrong track. The co-directors of football really need to take this as a serious issue and sort the mess before next season starts by taking proper desicion and hiring of a proper and well experienced medical team.

I think 🤔 its time to bring back Eva Canero back to Chelsea Medical 😷 department 🏬 because during her time remember we sign Diego Coster with injury and injuries free during her regime. Chelsea need good physiotherapy to save guide the players from injuries
Medical team, we lost Hazard en Pulisic because of that!
That's just the fact
