Chelsea FC are in a rough place this international break, as they’re eliminated from the league title race, Europe and fading fast in the race to qualify for Europe for next season. And with that all said, we need to get you updated on the fitness situation too, and it isn’t pretty. Ahead of the run in, they have a long list of injuries, so much so that we need to cover it in two pieces, with Part 1 being found at this link. But even with all that, the Blues still have a chance of winning a trophy this season, as they have advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals, where they have the most favorable draw of anyone. So let’s get to the Blues injury/fitness news, focusing on Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile and Jamie Gittens.

Trevoh Chalobah

The good news is that the ankle injury to Chalobah is not as serious as initially feared. The bad news is that his total time on the sidelines could equal six weeks.

“Fortunately, it’s nowhere near as serious as we first feared,” Rosenior said on Thursday. “It’s still a serious injury, but we’re looking at a period of maybe six weeks, which is disappointing, but from where we were a couple of days ago, we are in a better place than what we thought.”

Expected return date: April 18 vs Manchester United

Benoit Badiashile

He’s battling a virus right now, so he should be well rested and recuperated for the next match.

Expected return date: April 4 vs Port Vale in the FA Cup Quarterfinals
